Barcelona Intensifies Efforts to Sign Luis Díaz as Liverpool Considers Future
Luis Díaz’s future at Liverpool is increasingly uncertain, with Barcelona ramping up their pursuit of the Colombian winger.
The Spanish giants, led by sporting director Deco, are pushing to secure Díaz’s signature in the upcoming summer transfer window. Reports indicate that Barcelona has already informed Liverpool of their interest, and the 28-year-old is said to be open to the move.
Despite being a key figure for Liverpool this season, Díaz’s form has been inconsistent in recent weeks, scoring just twice in his last 10 games. Overall, he has contributed 13 goals and three assists across all competitions. With Liverpool still competing for multiple trophies, his potential departure would leave a notable void in Arne Slot’s squad.
Liverpool Eyes Rafael Leão as Díaz’s Replacement
Amid growing speculation, Liverpool has reportedly identified AC Milan’s Rafael Leão as the ideal successor should Díaz leave. According to sources relayed by Football365, the club is well-positioned financially, making them strong contenders to sign the Portuguese forward.
Leão, 25, has been in excellent form for Milan, registering nine goals and eight assists this season. His overall record stands at 67 goals and 57 assists in 246 appearances for the Italian club. With interest in a Premier League move, Liverpool could be a more likely destination than Barcelona.
The upcoming transfer window could bring major changes to Liverpool’s attack. Whether Barcelona can meet Liverpool’s demands and convince Díaz to make the switch remains to be seen.
