According to reports, Luis Diaz, a winger for Liverpool, has expressed his desire to join FC Barcelona, who are ‘exploring all alternatives’ to make a transfer possible.

The Premier League’s biggest teams defeated Tottenham Hotspur in the race to capture Columbia international Diaz, paying over £37 million during the January 2022 transfer window.

Diaz’s tenure at Liverpool began spectacularly, but his success was cut short before the end of 2022 by a major knee injury.

When the 27-year-old is on fire and gives full-backs a lot of trouble, he is unrecognizable from the player who missed a significant amount of time due to injury.

With 31 Premier League starts under his belt, Diaz has established himself as a mainstay for Liverpool this year. Despite having played in 13 league goals, he has received criticism for being wasteful in front of goal.

Will Liverpool profit from Diaz?Due to his lackluster performance for Liverpool, there have been rumors that they could make a big splash this summer, with FC Barcelona and PSG being suggested as potential destinations.

With Kylian Mbappe departing for Real Madrid, PSG may need a winger. Meanwhile, Barcelona will want to make major moves in the summer to get closer to Carlo Ancelotti’s team, who have already won the La Liga title this year.

Reports from Spain claim that because Diaz has been “selected” by the top teams in La Liga, Barcelona is “pushing for the signing” of the player.

Liverpool is apparently considering Diaz as a “very attractive target,” as the left wing position has been under scrutiny for some time.

The Liverpool player has reportedly “expressed his desire to leave and join Barcelona,” indicating that he is eager to transfer.

The article states that although Diaz’s €80 million valuation “may complicate negotiations,” “interest in Diaz persists and the club is willing to explore all options to try to secure his signing.”

Diaz recently stated that he is “happy” with Liverpool despite this, citing their “great years coming.”

“I’ve come a long way,” Diaz declared. “From the start of my career to the present, I believe that there are many lessons to be learned from the passing of time—days, years, living each experience in every team, and joining this incredible Liverpool club.

“You acquire ever-increasing knowledge about becoming a better person, professional, team player, and nice guy. To be honest, I’m thrilled to be here. I’m confident that the club will have many more successful years to come.

As for me, I’ll always strive to give it my all, to always stand out on the field because that’s what I came [here] to accomplish. I always give thanks to God for all of my blessings.
