Liverpool fans are no strangers to transfer rumors surrounding their star players.

This time, it’s Luis Diaz who finds himself at the center of speculation.

With his pace, technical ability, and knack for scoring crucial goals, the Colombian winger has been a key player for Arne Slot.

But as Barcelona prepare for a squad rebuild, Diaz’s name has surfaced as a serious target.

Barcelona’s interest in Diaz is not new.

The Catalan club has been linked with several left-wingers in recent months as they look for reinforcements.

With their financial situation improving, their technical staff is now seriously exploring potential transfers.

And it turns out Diaz has long been on their radar.

Now, reports in Colombia, as relayed by AS, claim that Diaz’s representatives have already reached out to Barcelona to explore the feasibility of a move in the summer.

The report states that his entourage has reportedly taken the first step by contacting Barcelona to test the waters.

Adding to the speculation, the 28-year-old has shown no indication of wanting to renew his contract at Liverpool.

His current deal runs until 2027, and while his wages are considered modest, Barcelona sees him as a financially viable signing.

The Blaugrana’s sporting director, Deco, is said to admire Diaz and considers him a ‘perfect fit’ for their system.

Barcelona’s financial situation has improved significantly, with their salary cap now set at €463.6 million – an increase of €37 million.

This places them within the 1:1 Fair Play rule, allowing them to make moves in the transfer market.

With Diaz’s camp reportedly making contact, the possibility of a summer transfer may now be firmly on the table.

For Liverpool, this raises concerns.

While there has been no official movement from the club, Diaz’s reluctance to commit to a new contract could force them to make a decision sooner rather than later.
