FC Barcelona has set its sights on Luis Díaz, the talented Colombian winger who has shone at Liverpool. At 28 years old, the player has become the club's top priority to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season.
Recently, Díaz started following Barça's official account on Instagram, as well as the club legend Leo Messi. This gesture has sparked speculation among fans, who interpret this action as a hint towards a potential transfer to the blue and garnet team.
The Colombian, who has been a key figure for the Colombian national team, left his mark in the recent match against Argentina, where he scored a spectacular goal that earned him the MVP title of the match. With this goal, Luis Díaz positions himself as the top scorer in the South American qualifiers, tallying a total of 7 goals in 16 matches.
Barça's interest in the player intensifies, especially after dismissing other options like Nico Williams and Rafael Leao. Negotiations with Liverpool will not be easy, as the 'Reds' demand at least 80 million euros for the forward. However, it is expected that Díaz will pressure his club to facilitate his move to Camp Nou.
The transfer could close for a figure close to 70 million euros, which would represent a more affordable investment compared to other alternatives. Additionally, the Colombian's salary, which could be around 5 million euros net per season, would fit better within Barça's budget.
In the meantime, Luis Díaz will take a well-deserved break in Barranquilla with his family, awaiting news about his future. The Barça fans are eager at the prospect of seeing the 'Guajiro' donning the blue and garnet jersey next season.
