Could Luis Díaz Leave Liverpool for Barcelona?
Liverpool has set a price for the Colombian player, and the media is already linking him to Barcelona.
With Barcelona's chances of signing Nico Williams dwindling—especially after Athletic announced he would be wearing the number 10 jersey next season—the club is exploring alternatives. While no official names have been mentioned, rumors are swirling about a possible move for Luis Díaz, especially after Liverpool reportedly set a price for the 27-year-old Colombian international.
Díaz, who is under contract with Liverpool until 2027, could be on his way out if Barcelona comes in with an offer. The Athletic reported that his release clause is set at €58 million ($63.2 million), and it's well-known that Díaz has previously expressed interest in donning the blaugrana colors.
The connection between Díaz and Barcelona is no coincidence. With the potential Nico Williams deal falling through, Barça remains on the lookout for a big signing. According to sources within the club, they were prepared to pay Williams' release clause, which coincidentally matches Díaz’s.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool isn’t likely to offer any discounts for Díaz's departure. Any interested team would have to pay the full amount, possibly even more considering inflation.
Liverpool is set to kick off their Premier League campaign against Ipswich next Saturday, where coach Arne Slot may address the Díaz rumors in a press conference. Meanwhile, Barcelona will also make their LaLiga debut on Saturday against Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium.
