Barcelona is recognized as having an interest in Liverpool’s Luis Diaz. There are fierce rumors as Barca’s sports director Deco revealed that the Catalan club “admired” the Colombian winger. When asked about the subject, Liverpool boss Arne Slot responded with just praises like Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.
According to Times’ Paul Joyce, Barcelona actually tried to contact Liverpool and discuss a potential transfer, but the Premier League champions quickly refused to negotiate.
As for Diaz himself, the 28-year-old was asked to comment on speculation as he prepares to represent his country in the World Cup qualifiers against Peru on Friday. He and his representatives have actually been in contact with other clubs, but he also emphasized that this period of summer transfer windows is normal and whether he will sign a new contract in the near future or play the remaining two years of the current deal, he is happy with Liverpool.
