Bar\u00e7a keeps the option of signing Luis D\u00edaz open, in case the negotiation with Nico Williams fails. The Colombian is willing to wait for a cul\u00e9 offer<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The board of FC Barcelona<\/a> does not rule out resuming the signing of Luis D\u00edaz<\/a>. The Colombian international was, until a couple of weeks ago, the favorite to reinforce the left side of the Blaugrana attack, but the insistence of Nico Williams<\/a> to wear the cul\u00e9 shirt gave a twist to the plans of the sports management led by Deco<\/a>.<\/p>

In principle, the Athletic ‘crack’ seems a more sensible bet due to age (he is six years younger than ‘Lucho’) and price, understanding that Liverpool will hardly let the ‘7’ go for less than 75 million euros<\/strong>, around 13 ‘kilos’ more than what the transfer of the Basque winger will cost (62 M\u20ac, including VAT).<\/p>

However, the latest frictions between Bar\u00e7a and the agent of the youngest of the Williams, F\u00e9lix Tainta, have raised doubts about the feasibility of the operation. Nico’s environment doubts about the club’s financial capacity to register him on time<\/strong> and asks for guarantees (a release clause) to sign that the cul\u00e9s are not willing to accept.<\/p>

Luis D\u00edaz, Bar\u00e7a’s ‘plan B’ if the ‘Nico Williams operation’ fails<\/h2>

In that sense, D\u00edaz is back in the spotlight as Barcelona’s ‘plan B’ if, for the second summer in a row, the signing of the Bilbao striker collapses. In 2024, the club decided to go for Dani Olmo<\/a> after the ‘no’ from Pamplona<\/strong> and, this year, the situation may be repeated, with the Liverpool winger being the chosen one.<\/p>

The reasons for betting on the Barrancas native are, at least, solid, as he is a versatile player who can also play as an attacking midfielder or ‘false 9’<\/strong>. In addition, he is in excellent form with his club and national team. In the last FIFA date, ‘Lucho’ shone against Argentina, rescuing a draw for Colombia in Buenos Aires with a great goal (1-1).<\/p>

Luis D\u00edaz shines against Argentina: top scorer of the World Cup qualifiers <\/a> <\/h4> <\/div> <\/section><\/div>

In 24\/25, the 28-year-old winger scored 17 goals and 8 assists<\/strong> in 50 games with the ‘reds’, being an undisputed starter for coach Arne Slot in a team that dominated the Premier League from start to finish.<\/p>

Therefore, those from Merseyside have set his departure price at 80 M\u20ac, although the brutal investment for Florian Wirtz (135 M\u20ac)<\/a> forces them to raise funds<\/strong> and Luis D\u00edaz, without a doubt, is one of the players who can bring the best profits to the club’s coffers.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a will have no problems in amortizing the transfer of Luis D\u00edaz<\/h2>

Luis D\u00edaz and Nico Williams, wingers that Bar\u00e7a likes<\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

The Colombian still has a contract until 2027 and, for the moment, only has an offer from Saudi Al Nassr that the player is not willing to accept. Bayern Munich<\/a> could also go for the ‘coffee maker’ player<\/strong>, as long as Nico Williams ends up signing for Bar\u00e7a and Milan refuses to accept an offer below 80 ‘kilos’ for Rafael Leao<\/a>.<\/p>

For Bar\u00e7a, the signing of ‘Lucho’, although it represents a greater initial investment, will not be difficult to fit into its wage bill. Unlike the Basque winger, the Liverpool attacker would sign for a salary close to 5-6 million net per season<\/strong>.<\/p>

Nico, on the other hand, will earn about 8 ‘kilos’ net per year as a Blaugrana player, although Athletic and Bayern offer him a higher salary (about 10 M\u20ac). Do you think Luis D\u00edaz would be a good signing for Bar\u00e7a?<\/p>
