Luis Díaz, on the exit ramp from Liverpool: Star reinforcement for Barça?

The Liverpool received a harsh setback in their almost perfect season. The 'reds', leaders of the Premier League and qualified for the Champions League round of 16 as group leaders, were one of the surprises of the season by being eliminated from the FA Cup at the hands of Plymouth Argyle, the bottom team of the English second division.

The fall of Arne Slot's team in the historic English tournament has left several figures in the 'eye of the storm', with the Colombian Luis Díaz being one of them. The player had a very poor performance in his team's defeat, and this, along with his drop in performance this season, has put him in the 'crosshairs'.

The forward is far from being indispensable for the Dutch coach, who has relegated him to a practically secondary role to give more minutes to Cody Gakpo. The '7' of Liverpool has not scored since the last week of 2024, accumulating 12 goals and barely 3 assists in 33 matches played this season. His situation at the club is delicate, and at Anfield Road they are already imagining a future without him in their ranks.

Liverpool would be willing to sell Díaz in the summer

This is reported by the newspaper 'Liverpool Echo', which states that the 'reds' would be willing to open the exit door for him in the summer along with his teammate, Diogo Jota. According to the 'scouser' publication, both players would not fit into the playing style that Slot has imposed in Merseyside and they would seek to part ways with their contracts to be able to face the signing of a couple of reinforcements that do fit the profile the coach wants.

This situation could be taken advantage of by FC Barcelona, where they hope to reinforce the left wing for the next season, with Díaz as one of the main options for the sports management. Once back to the 1:1 rule, the culés aim to sign at least one top-level star next summer, and if the signing of the Colombian is within reach, Deco will not hesitate to push forward to secure his incorporation.

Valued at 85 million euros by 'Transfermarkt', the 'Guajiro' is a player who is very much liked in the Catalan capital, where he has been closely followed for a couple of years. Now, with all conditions in favor of the Catalans, his arrival at Spotify Camp Nou could be closer than ever.
