Luis Diaz, a 27-year-old Liverpool attacking staple, is someone Hansi Flick wants Barcelona to sign during the summer transfer season.
Fichajes, a Spanish publication, reported that Hansi Flick is a fan of Luis Diaz. The 27-year-old Liverpool attacking mainstay is someone that the newly hired Barcelona manager wants the Blaugrana to sign during the summer transfer season.
Luis Diaz and his trip to Liverpool
Following his January 2022 transfer from FC Porto, Luis Diaz has established himself as a mainstay for Liverpool in the final third. The Colombian international has shown flashes of brilliance, but he has been a valuable asset to the Merseyside team’s offensive line. He also plays a crucial role for Los Cafeteros.
Despite his erratic play during the season, the 27-year-old managed to accrue almost 3,500 minutes of game time in 51 appearances across all competitions. In those games, Diaz was involved in 18 goals, scoring 13 goals and dishing out five assists. The player’s stock is still high in the market despite his unsatisfactory productivity.
In recent weeks, numerous reports have connected Diaz to a number of prestigious teams throughout Europe. The former FC Porto winger has been pursued by Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, but he may not look to leave Liverpool during the summer transfer window.
A major summertime relocation is coming up?
It makes sense that Barcelona is interested in Luis Diaz. Going into the summer transfer window, Raphinha and Ferran Torres’ futures at the Catalan club are unknown because the Blaugrana are in a financial crunch and need to raise funds. The money received from the sale of valuable assets will also be used to pay for summer additions.
Hansi Flick has given his clearance for a possible summer transfer, and Diaz is a realistic target for Barcelona. The 27-year-old Liverpool staple is available for acquisition in the summer transfer window, and the newly appointed Barcelona boss has ordered the Blaugrana to go all out to sign him. Nico Williams is also the new head coach’s attacking focus.
It’s unknown if Liverpool will consider any bids for the international player from Colombia. According to recent sources, the Reds are thinking about giving Diaz a new contract. So, even with Flick’s demands, a summer move to Barcelona is unlikely to happen.
