Barcelona Target Liverpool’s Luis Díaz Amid Contract Uncertainty
Barcelona are actively monitoring Luis Díaz’s situation at Liverpool, with hopes of landing the Colombian winger for around €60 million, according to SPORT. However, Liverpool value him at closer to €80 million and have reportedly offered him a new contract with significantly improved terms.
Despite the offer, Díaz is not yet convinced and could consider a move, especially with Barcelona showing strong interest.
Díaz remains a key player at Anfield, having scored 17 goals across all competitions last season. With Liverpool heavily reliant on Mohamed Salah and Díaz in attack, losing him could prove costly.
For now, his future remains uncertain, with negotiations ongoing and Barcelona ready to pounce should the opportunity arise.
Barcelona Eye “Really Special” Luis Díaz Amid Liverpool Contract Standoff
Luis Díaz’s future at Liverpool is under the spotlight once again, with Barcelona stepping up their interest in the Colombian winger. The Catalan giants are reportedly prepared to make a move this summer, but face resistance from a Liverpool side that holds all the leverage.
Manager Jürgen Klopp has previously described Díaz as a “really special” player, and that sentiment is clearly shared within the club hierarchy. Liverpool value him at €80 million, while Barcelona are hoping to negotiate closer to €60 million, according to SPORT. The Reds have already offered Díaz a new contract with a significantly improved salary, but the 27-year-old has yet to be convinced.
No Pressure to Sell, But Temptation Looms
Liverpool are under no financial or squad pressure to sell Díaz, and sources close to the club suggest that he is unlikely to push for a move. Still, the pull of Barcelona—especially with the promise of a starring role at Camp Nou—could prove tempting. However, a deal will only happen if both clubs can reach a valuation agreement, which, as of now, seems far apart.
Strategic Considerations for Liverpool
With Liverpool on the verge of completing a club-record signing of Florian Wirtz for up to €150 million, the club’s attacking structure is being redefined under new manager Arne Slot. Additional reinforcements, including a central striker and possibly a wide forward, are expected.
Selling Díaz would free up funds and create space for a new attacking dynamic. While he’s been vital—scoring 17 goals in all competitions last season—Liverpool may consider cashing in if he declines to extend his deal.
A Summer of Change
With Alexander Isak, João Pedro, and Julian Álvarez all linked as potential targets, Liverpool are clearly aiming to build a new forward line capable of defending their Premier League crown and challenging in Europe.
Barcelona, for their part, will need to decide whether they’re willing to meet Liverpool’s asking price—or risk losing out on a marquee winger at a time when they too are reshaping their squad.
