At the same time that the transfer window is drawing near, Barcelona is making preparations for the summer, and President Joan Laporta and Director Deco are both busy with a range of activities.

.

 

In the earlier part of today, we disclosed that Pini Zahavi, who is the representative of Robert Lewandowski and manager Hansi Flick, had a meeting with the president of Barcelona.

The fact that Laporta has just finished a meeting with another organization is evidence that he has been exceptionally busy.

 

The representative of Luis Diaz was the one that Laporta communicated with.

Carlos Van Strahlen, the agent of Luis Diaz, a forward for Liverpool, was reportedly present at a meeting between Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, and Carlos Van Strahlen, according to sources that were credited to SPORT.

The winger for Liverpool is making a full recovery after an injury that forced him to miss the most of the previous season’s activity. Since joining Jurgen Klopp’s squad, he has established himself as a dependable starter, having produced eleven goals and five assists.

 

Before moving to Liverpool, Diaz was under Laporta’s attention, and based on their dinner, it seems the president of Barça has not forgotten about the Colombian international.

 

Move impractical

According to the article, Laporta is said to have inquired about the approximate amounts needed for Diaz to go from Liverpool to Barcelona.

 

The agency is said to have responded with a staggering amount, estimated to be valued between €120 and €140 million. The number is not surprising considering his prominent position in Liverpool’s initiative and the length of his contract, which expires in 2027.

 

Reaching such a figure is unattainable given Barcelona’s financial demands, and Laporta informed Diaz’s agency of this. The president of Barça is said to have said, “It is not feasible.”

 

As previously stated, Diaz was also a target for Barça and Laporta when he was at FC Porto. But at the time they made their offer, the player was already in advanced negotiations with Liverpool, as the club president had disclosed back in November 2022.

 

There wasn’t an option. The president stated, “He was a player who interested us when we arrived, but Liverpool already had very advanced negotiations with Porto.”

 

It is now possible to rule out Diaz making a move this summer considering the figures that are probably involved.
