The Catalan media love to stir the transfer pot when they can and, today it’s the turn of Mundo Deportivo with Liverpool’s Luis Diaz.
The newspaper reports that the Liverpool star has recently started to follow Barcelona on Instagram, something that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Catalan club’s fans. They see it as a stepping stone to his arrival at the Camp Nou.
The 28-year-old is Barcelona’s top target to strengthen their forward line this summer. And this decision to follow them is being seen as a hint.
Diaz has also followed Barcelona legend Lionel Messi, another sign that is being interpreted by Barcelona’s fanbase as a positive sign.
It’s seen as the Liverpool star demonstrating his affection for Barcelona and is significant because he only follows the teams he’s played for during his career. As far as Mundo are concerned, it’s a show that his desire is to play for Liverpool.
Whether the move happens remains to be seen and this is very much Mundo Deportivo stirring the pot. It could be said, though, that Diaz is doing exactly the same thing with his social media activity.
