Barcelona is closely monitoring the situation of Liverpool striker Luis Díaz, a player of great value to the club’s sporting director, Deco, according to SPORT.
The outlet mentions that Díaz has become a key target for the club, especially as Deco sees him as a potential turning point for Barcelona’s attack, although his name might not generate as much buzz as other high-profile options.
Deco first showed interest in Diaz last summer, particularly after Barcelona’s pursuit of Nico Williams failed.
At the time, landing Diaz from Liverpool seemed impossible, and even now, the move remains a major challenge. However, there remains a small window of opportunity for Barcelona, provided certain circumstances align in their favor.
times have changed
Díaz’s contract with Liverpool runs until 2027, but there is growing frustration within his squad due to the club’s lack of contractual improvements.
This discontent has led to Diaz’s representation being handled by a large agency with strong ties to Barcelona, which could provide a route for the player to move.
Despite being a regular starter for Liverpool, he is not always used as much as he would like, and this could be a factor in his decision to explore new options.
Patience is the key.
While Liverpool’s form this season has been solid, there is a chance things could change. If this situation starts to unravel, Barcelona could have a chance to secure Diaz.
For now, the club remains well informed about its situation and is closely monitoring any developments.
The Colombian is in excellent shape this season, gradually improving his performance. With more than 1,500 minutes played, he has already scored 12 goals in 24 games in all competitions.
His form is only improving, making him an even more attractive option for Barcelona looking to strengthen their squad.
