Barcelona’s interest in Luis Diaz could become more real. As Liverpool’s latest transfer target likely clearing the way.
Wirtz Move Could Push Luis Diaz Closer to Camp Nou
Liverpool are close to sealing a deal for German sensation Florian Wirtz. And that decision could have big impact for Luis Diaz. With the Reds charged an eye watering fee of around €150 million, they need to clear space, both in their squad and on their wage bill. And Diaz looks like the one to make way.
As per a report by SPORT, the Colombian will be available in the transfer market. That is opening up a real chance for Barcelona to land him. Barca have looked at Diaz for a good while. He has the pace, one on one ability and European experience that new coach Hansi Flick particularly likes.
Until now, Reds’ reluctance to sell and the high price kept things on hold. But with Wirtz set to come in, those barriers may be falling fast.
Barcelona Playing the Waiting Game
While Barcelona are interested, they aren’t jumping the gun just yet. They’re waiting for Liverpool to officially wrap up the Wirtz deal before making a formal move for Diaz. The Spanish giants know the Colombian is open to leaving Anfield, especially with his future role likely shrinking.
The Reds’ winger hasn’t signed a new contract, and his camp has dropped hints that he’s ready for a fresh start. Reds once valued him at €85 million, but that number may drop as the summer window heats up.
Meanwhile, the PL champions are shifting their focus to rebuilding. Barça are seeing an opening and are ready to strike for him when the time is right. With Diaz said to be dreaming of a move to Camp Nou this June, the stars may finally be aligning for a big summer switch.
