€85m-rated Liverpool player is waiting for Barcelona to make a move for him – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona will be looking to bring in some reinforcements for their team in the next summer transfer window, with their highest priority to strengthen the attack with the addition of a left winger.

For this purpose, there have been several prominent names linked with the Blaugrana side in the last few months, but one name that has been linked more strongly with them is the Liverpool forward Luis Diaz, who is reportedly one of the favorite candidates of Deco.

However, to be able to sign him, the Catalans will have to gain significant space in their wage bill, and it is not yet clear whether they will be able to do so.

Meanwhile, despite this uncertainty, Mundo Deportivo reports that the player himself dreams of playing for Barcelona, but is currently waiting for the Blaugranes to make a move to understand whether they will make an investment to incorporate him in their squad for the next season.

Diaz has spent the last four seasons at Liverpool and still has two more years left on his contract with the Premier League side. However, if the chance to join the Catalan club emerges, he would not hesitate to choose Barcelona, a club he has supported since childhood.

However, the Merseyside club will not really be too keen to allow their star player to leave, especially as another of their key players, Mohamed Salah, is looking set to leave them after his contract ends at the end of this season to play in Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore, the €85m-rated Colombian has been a fixed starter for Arne Slot, and the Dutch tactician has already asked his club to ensure his continuity going forward.

On the other hand, Liverpool will also be looking to bring in another big name, most probably Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, next summer to replace Salah, and Diaz’s sale can provide them with the required funds.

Meanwhile, in addition to Barcelona, some Saudi clubs also have the Colombian winger in their sights, while the Reds have themselves identified the Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane as a candidate to replace him if he ends up leaving.
