Liverpool have no intention of selling Barcelona attacking target this summer

Barcelona’s pursuit of top talent continues to be a hot topic in the football world, with Luis Diaz now emerging as a key figure of interest. 

However, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool currently have no intentions of parting ways with him, despite Barcelona’s clear interest in the Colombian winger. 

Romano emphasises that Liverpool have not received any formal offers for Diaz, indicating that the English club is committed to keeping him at Anfield for the foreseeable future.

Barcelona need a player like Luis Diaz

Barcelona’s interest in the Colombian comes as no surprise, especially considering their ongoing struggle to secure the signature of Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.

Nico, who was initially a prime target for the Catalan giants, now seems increasingly out of reach. 

This situation has prompted Barcelona to shift their focus toward Diaz, who has reportedly caught the attention of the club’s hierarchy.

For Barcelona, acquiring Diaz would be a significant boost to their squad, particularly as they look to strengthen their attacking options. However, any potential deal hinges on Liverpool’s willingness to negotiate. 

While the Merseyside club is not actively seeking to offload him, previous reports suggest they might consider a sale if an offer in the region of €58 million is tabled. 

Liverpool want Diaz to stay

Diaz’s journey at Liverpool has been a mixed bag. While he was a standout performer during his time at FC Porto, where his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability made him one of Europe’s most exciting wingers, his experience at Anfield has been somewhat less impactful. 

Physical setbacks have hampered his progress, and while he has had moments of brilliance, there is a sense within the club that more is expected from him. 

Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot sees Diaz as a player who could contribute significantly more, provided he can overcome his injury woes and consistently deliver top performances.
