Barcelona are allegedly interested in signing Liverpool’s Luis Diaz this summer.

Diaz, 27, has made 97 appearances for the Reds since joining from Porto for a cost of £50 million in January 2022, scoring 24 goals and providing 13 assists.

The winger, who has 47 caps for Colombia, has also played an important role this season, starting 31 of Liverpool’s 36 Premier League games, and outgoing manager Jurgen Klopp has relied heavily on Diaz during the last two and a half years.

According to Spanish site Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is looking to sign a winger this summer, and Diaz is their top choice in this position.

While the club’s financial difficulties have been fully known, the article claims the Catalan giants are still looking to strengthen significantly.

Barcelona are apparently exploring a move for Liverpool’s Luis Diaz, 27, this summer.

The Colombian is the main target for the Catalan giants as they seek to bolster their attack.

Despite budgetary constraints, Xavi’s team intends to sign players this summer.

Barcelona has already attempted to generate finances and combat monetary constraints by using a variety of financial tools, including selling off future TV rights income to private corporations.

According to the source, the club hopes to meet LaLiga’s FFP and wage constraints in their bids to make additions this summer, allowing them to enhance their permissible spend.

This is anticipated to be addressed by lucrative new sponsorship deals with brands such as Nike, as well as the sale of more ownership in Barca Studios, the club’s in-house production company.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is willing to selling many first-team players in an attempt to acquire additional revenue.

A move for Diaz is part of the club’s efforts to reinforce on the left wing, with many other targets being considered.

While Diaz is the preferred signing, Barcelona is also reportedly interested in Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo, and Porto winger Pepe.

Xavi believes Diaz would be an excellent fit for the team and is thought to be working on a plan to make the move happen.

A move to Barcelona would also fulfill Diaz’s 27-year-old childhood goal, as his father has already expressed.

According to the source, Diaz’s current condition at Liverpool just makes him more likely to join.

With Jurgen Klopp’s departure, Liverpool could undergo major upheaval this summer.

While Diaz is Barcelona’s #1 target, they are also interested in Dani Olmo and Nico Williams

Olmo has thrived for RB Leipzig, and Williams continues to impress for Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona’s priority aim is Diaz, although they are also interested in Dani Olmo (left) and Nico Williams.

Although he is under contract until 2027, with Klopp’s upcoming retirement, the club is anticipated to undergo a substantial overhaul under his likely replacement, Arne Slot.

The German is also claimed to be his guru, and Diaz has received criticism for his performances and consistency.

Diaz is also reported to be open to a transfer to fulfill the aforementioned boyhood desire, and according to the article, if all goes as planned, he has a real chance of becoming a Barcelona player.

Meanwhile, the Colombian will be looking to end Klopp’s reign on a high note by defeating Wolves at Anfield this Sunday.
