Although Barca is still optimistic about Luis Díaz, they have already started to see Marcus Rashford as a more realistic target. The 'reds', unlike United, do not make it easy to negotiate

Liverpool will not easily give in to the demands of FC Barcelona, who want to try to negotiate the incorporation of the Colombian attacker Luis Díaz to reinforce their offensive trident.

Thus, the Anfield Road team has already informed the player's entourage that to let him leave they will only accept a price of around 80-90 million euros.

In this sense, despite the demands of the Merseyside team, Barça still has some optimism regarding a possible negotiation that will bring 'Lucho' to the Ciudad Condal.

However, in a way the player would start to move away from the Blaugrana team because he would not be interested in reaching those figures that the 'reds' want.

The 'Guajiro' has a contract until the summer of 2027, but he would be willing to change teams this summer if they do not offer him a contract extension and a significant salary improvement, according to recent rumors leaked by English media.

And, in fact, the '7's' entourage sees this summer market as a unique opportunity to change teams and also improve his salary, since he barely earns about 3.3 'kilos' per year, placing him in the eighteenth position of the 'red' squad.

Barcelona-Bayern, a heavyweight bid for Luis Díaz

In this context, if Liverpool decides to negotiate with Barça, the Catalan team does not have a clear path, as sources from Germany indicate that Bayern Munich would be in the negotiation stage with the 'Guajiro'.

The 'Bavarians', in fact, are evaluating presenting Liverpool with an offer of 60 million plus variables, although the Bavarians would also be willing to raise the initial figure to 80 'kilos'.

In contrast, Barça has not yet sent an official offer to Liverpool for the Colombian winger. However, according to sources close to the player's entourage, the Blaugrana entity has initiated contacts with his representatives with the aim of designing a strategy that facilitates his departure from the Premier League.

The situation, for now, is not favorable for Barcelona, who do not want to match that high sum of money due to their limitations with LaLiga's financial 'Fair Play'. Thus, the Blaugrana 'plan B' points to Marcus Rashford in case they cannot do anything for Luis Díaz.

Rashford overtakes Luis Díaz in Barça's plans

At Barcelona, despite still being hopeful regarding 'Lucho', Deco's favorite, they would have already started to see Rashford as a more realistic target, mainly because Manchester United will accept 40 million euros for his transfer, despite the fact that his market value is around 50 'kilos'.

In recent hours, it has emerged that coach Hansi Flick would also like to have the English '10', who can play as a winger on both sides and as a center forward. A characteristic that, for the moment, only Ferran Torres boasts in the culé squad.

The 28-year-old would even be willing to lower his salary to land at Camp Barca, in order to facilitate a loan without a mandatory purchase option.

This alternative is viable for the 'red devils' would be willing to let him leave on loan with a purchase option, since coach Rúben Amorim is not counting on him. What will be Barça's next left winger? There is still a long way to go in the summer market.
