Barcelona draw up plan to sign 27-year-old Liverpool star this summer | OneFootball

Barcelona are desperate to sign a new left winger in the summer, given that they currently have no natural option there for next season. They’ve been linked with Nico Williams, Dani Olmo and Porto’s Pepe in recent weeks, and now a new name has emerged at the top of the pile: Luis Diaz.

According to MD, Diaz is the most-desired option for Barcelona officials. They believe that the Colombian international would be very interested in joining from Liverpool during the transfer window.

A deal would depend on Barcelona’s financial situation. If they can raise enough money to return to La Liga’s 1:1 return in the summer, then the chances of a deal being pursued will drastically increase. For now, a plan is in place for that eventuality happening.

Liverpool would likely demand a very significant fee to part ways with Diaz, and there have been questions over his end product over the last 12 months. Given that he’s also 27, it would surely make more sense for Barcelona to go for Williams instead, also taking into consideration that he would probably be cheaper.
