Luis Díaz moves away from Barça: the key that brings his renewal with Liverpool closer

Luis Díaz was set to be one of the major protagonists of the summer transfer market for FC Barcelona. The azulgrana entity hopes to strengthen the left wing for the upcoming season, and the Colombian gained traction in recent weeks as a potential 'bomb' signing for the Catalans during the summer window.

The negotiations for the renewal of the 'Guajiro's' contract with Liverpool had been stalled for several months, and Deco was hoping to take advantage of this situation to finalize the player's arrival in the Catalan city at the end of the current season. However, the 'soap opera' involving the South American and the team managed by Arne Slot seems to have taken a radical turn in recent hours.

On the morning of last Monday, the Merseyside entity officially announced its new agreement with Adidas, which starting from the 2025-26 season will be the sports multinational providing match jerseys, training gear, and lifestyle apparel for all men's, women's, academy teams, and staff of the LFC Foundation.

Adidas could bring Díaz's renewal with Liverpool closer

This connection between Liverpool and the German company could directly influence 'Lucho's' future, as the forward is one of their most important figures in promoting their products. For this reason, sources from Colombia suggest that this factor could end up unblocking the discussions between both parties and accelerate the player's signing of a new commitment with the 'reds'.

Meanwhile, at Can Barça, they are maintaining contact with Díaz and his entourage while waiting to be able to pursue his signing. However, the emergence of Adidas on the horizon of Anfield Road could throw the Catalans' plans into disarray, as they could play a key role in negotiations with the Colombian to tip the balance in favor of Arne Slot's team. The coming weeks will be crucial in this 'soap opera'.
