On Wednesday, El Chiringuito journalist Jose Alvarez Haya reported Liverpool’s Luis Díaz has offered himself to Barcelona. His agent has also informed the Catalan club’s sporting director, Deco, that he’s open to a move in the summer window.
Mundo Deportivo state the La Liga side aim to improve their attack next season by adding a new No.9 and a left winger.
The Liverpool star is included in their list and the report adds he’s the ‘favourite’ target for Barcelona.
When describing the 28-year-old, Mundo say: ‘An explosive and unbalancing winger with impressive dribbling and speed ability, exhibiting great physical resistance.’
Thursday’s edition of AS covers the Spanish giants’ interest in the former FC Porto man.
The newspaper claims Barcelona’s ‘new limit’, likely for general expenditure, has been increased by €37m to €463.6m. This gives Deco extra room to work on targets for the next window.
Barca’s ‘main priority’ is to sign a left winger who can also operate up front. AS then state the Liverpool player is the one who has ‘enchanted’ Deco for a ‘long time’ and fits into what the director is looking for in the market.
The Colombia international’s contract lasts until 2027 and at this moment in time it’s claimed he does not want to renew his contract at Liverpool.
AS relay claims from Colombia about Díaz’s entourage contacting Barcelona to find out if an operation can be carried out with Liverpool. It’s to be noted the Colombian media are relaying what was reported by El Chiringuito yesterday.
