Luis Díaz Pushes for Barcelona Move to Play Alongside Lamine Yamal
Luis Díaz has already made moves to sign for Barcelona, refusing to renew with Liverpool and turning down an offer from Al-Nassr. His goal: to wear the Blaugrana jersey and play alongside Lamine Yamal.
A Shared Goal: Díaz and Barça Want to Join Forces
The transfer of Luis Díaz to Barcelona is no longer just a dream. The Colombian winger has taken formal steps to leave Liverpool, where he’s under contract until 2027, with the clear intent of joining the Catalan club next season. Both sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick consider him the top target to strengthen the attack.
Through his agent, the Colombian international has informed Liverpool that he has no intention of renewing his deal and wants to sign for Barcelona. This scenario works in the Spanish club’s favor—since Díaz has just two years left on his contract, the Reds may be forced to sell now to avoid losing value.
Rejecting Saudi Millions for a Future at Camp Nou
Despite receiving a massive offer from Al-Nassr, home to Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Díaz has made his priorities clear: he wants to play at Spotify Camp Nou. Beyond the competitive challenge, he is motivated by the chance to share the pitch with talents like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha, and Lewandowski.
At 28, the Colombian believes he can offer width on the left, defensive work rate, and tactical versatility, with the ability to play on either wing or as a central forward. He has occasionally played as a No. 9 at Liverpool, though he hasn’t enjoyed that role—particularly after being replaced by Cody Gakpo.
Full Support From Within the Club
At Barcelona, his quality isn’t the only thing that stands out—his commitment is also appreciated. Those close to Díaz have made it clear he’s willing to help facilitate his departure from Anfield. While Liverpool is reportedly asking for around €85 million, the Blaugranas hope to negotiate a lower fee, leveraging the player’s strong desire to join.
For president Joan Laporta and director Deco, a player’s attitude is essential. Past cases like Dani Olmo and Nico Williams, who didn’t show the same level of commitment, are cautionary tales. In contrast, Luis Díaz, a long-time fan of the club, is doing everything he can to fulfill his dream of wearing the Barcelona jersey.
