Luis Díaz: Barça decides on the Colombian and would already have a great offer to sign him

FC Barcelona will likely have a very active 2025-26 summer transfer market in terms of potential signings. The Catalan club, now that it has been revealed they can operate under the 1:1 rule and make signings with some ease, will approach the summer transfer window with clear objectives in mind. One of them is the acquisition of a top left winger, a position where a significant financial effort will be made to bring in a stellar player.

In that regard, many names are being linked to the Catalan team as top candidates to occupy the left winger position at Barcelona. One of them is the Colombian forward currently playing for Liverpool, Luis Díaz. This option is highly favored by the club's sports management, and there appears to be a strong desire to initiate negotiations for him at the end of the current season.

At least, that's what the Colombian media outlet 'Antena 2' suggests, which also asserts that Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, is in favor of this signing and that the Barcelona team is prepared to submit an offer of 70 million euros to secure the services of Luis Díaz. This proposed amount represents a significant financial outlay and could be an excellent starting point for negotiations.

In this context, it is worth noting that rumors of a possible departure of Luis Díaz from Liverpool gained traction after reports from England suggested that the Colombian player was seeking to renew his contract with the 'red' team to secure a salary update. His earnings have remained unchanged since his arrival in 2022, which seems insufficient given his growing contribution to the team in recent times.

Is Luis Díaz's departure from Liverpool a possible scenario?

It is also relevant to highlight the current situation of 'Lucho' at Liverpool, where he has recently been seen playing a role more akin to a center forward than a winger. In the recent matches of the Anfield team, Arne Slot has deployed him as a false nine, despite his usual position on the flanks, where he has demonstrated his potential more effectively. Could this positional change be a source of discontent for the Colombian and a decisive factor in a potential departure from the team? Only time will tell.

What seems apparent is that the transfer of Luis Díaz to Barcelona, a destination that apparently appeals to him, will not be a straightforward negotiation. Liverpool does not seem willing to let go of one of their forwards at a cheap price, especially considering that, with the likely departure of Mohamed Salah in the summer, losing the player from Barrancas would entail two significant losses in the forward line.
