Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has attracted interest from Barcelona ahead of the upcoming transfer window, according to reports from Mundo Deportivo.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta allegedly met with the agent of the Colombian attacker to discuss the possibility of a transfer.
However, Liverpool has set a high asking price for Diaz, ranging from approximately 120 to 140 million euros, which Laporta deems unfeasible given Barcelona’s current financial constraints.
It’s unlikely that Barcelona will be able to meet this valuation, raising questions about their pursuit of the winger.
Diaz’s departure would significantly impact Liverpool’s attacking prowess, as he has become a key player for the team.
His versatility to play on either flank, along with his flair, speed, and goal-scoring ability, would be missed.
Despite the allure of joining a prestigious club like Barcelona, Liverpool is unlikely to let Diaz go for anything less than his market value, requiring Barcelona to pay a premium for his services. Whether Barcelona will make a formal offer remains uncertain.
Diaz has been in excellent form this season, contributing eleven goals and five assists across all competitions.
At 27 years old, he is at the peak of his abilities and could make a successful transition to La Liga if a move materializes.
