- Barcelona continue to prioritise Luis Diaz as a top summer target
- Liverpool are now open to negotiations if an offer exceeds €60M
- The change in stance is linked to Liverpool’s major summer overhaul
Key Takeaways:
Luis Diaz remains a top transfer target for Barcelona this summer. Some time ago, the Catalan club’s sporting director Deco openly admitted that he greatly admires the qualities of the Colombian. At that time, however, the flirtation with their player was not well received at Anfield, with clear indications that Diaz was not for sale and that the club was planning to open talks for a new contract with the winger. The player himself also stated he wanted to stay at the club for as long as possible. According to Sport, the situation has changed, and Liverpool are now open to discussions.

Diaz has also attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, but he prefers a move to Barcelona. The Colombian still has two years left on his contract, and Liverpool have set a price tag of around €80 million. However, Sport claims the English club has reached a gentleman’s agreement with Diaz to let him leave if an offer exceeds €60 million.
The shift in Liverpool’s stance is linked to the club’s extensive transfer plans. The Merseysiders are about to finalise the record signing of Florian Wirtz and are also aiming to bring in a high-quality central striker. Names mentioned include Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, Bradley Barcola, and Hugo Ekitike. Because of these ambitions, Liverpool may end up selling not only Darwin Nunez, who is reportedly certain to leave, but also another key attacking player.
