Barcelona keeping close watch on Liverpool star’s contract drama | OneFootball

Barcelona are closely monitoring the situation of Liverpool forward Luis Diaz, a player who holds great value in the eyes of club sporting director Deco, claims a report from SPORT.

The outlet mentions that Diaz has become a key target for the club, especially as Deco sees him as a potential game-changer for Barcelona’s attack, even though his name might not generate as much buzz as other high-profile options.

Deco first showed interest in Diaz last summer, particularly after Barcelona’s pursuit of Nico Williams fell through.

At the time, securing Diaz from Liverpool seemed impossible, and even now, the move remains a significant challenge. However, there remains a small window of opportunity for Barcelona, provided certain circumstances align in their favour.

Times have changed

This discontent has led to Diaz’s representation being handled by a large agency with strong ties to Barcelona, which could provide an avenue for the player to move.

Despite being a regular starter for Liverpool, he is not always utilised as much as he would like, and this could be a factor in his decision to explore new options.

Patience is the key

While Liverpool’s form this season has been strong, there is a possibility that things could change. If this situation begins to unravel, Barcelona could have a chance to secure Diaz.

For now, the club is staying well-informed about his situation, keeping a close eye on any developments.

The Colombian has been in excellent form this season, gradually improving his performance. With over 1,500 minutes played, he has already scored 12 goals in 24 matches across all competitions.

His form is only improving, making him an even more enticing option for Barcelona as they look to strengthen their squad.
