Reports suggest that Liverpool may be open to selling Luis Diaz to Barcelona if a substantial offer is made for the Colombian winger during the upcoming transfer window.
Colombian outlet El Heraldo reveals that Liverpool is willing to entertain offers ranging between €120-€145 million (£102m-£123m/$131m-164m) for Diaz.
Despite his commendable performances this season, his future at Anfield appears uncertain.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta engaged in discussions with Diaz’s representatives regarding a potential transfer to Catalonia but was met with a daunting price tag.
Securing Diaz seems improbable for Laporta and Barcelona, given their financial constraints resulting from accumulated debt over the years.
Diaz’s father has expressed enthusiasm about a potential move to Barcelona, deeming it a dream scenario for his son.
Since his arrival at Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022 for €47 million (£40m/$51.3m), Diaz has contributed 11 goals and five assists in 38 appearances across all competitions.
While a transfer to Barcelona appears unlikely at the moment due to the club’s financial predicament, it doesn’t entirely rule out the possibility of a move.
The upcoming summer transfer window promises intrigue at Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp’s departure and the imminent appointment of a new manager adding to the anticipation.
