The transfer window is still going on and we have seen some surprising moves around the euro and one of them is Jhon Duran from Al Nassr to Fenerbahce, which was quite surprising because the striker had only used six months at the club, and I have a theory on this move which I share in another post. Liverpool, Diogo Jota and Adnre's family finally put the two brothers to rest last weekend. It is still a sad and painful exit and I hope the family can have the strength to pass through this tough time. So, to dive into the main content of this post, which is Luis Daiz's links with FC Barcelona.
The links between Liverpool's Luis Diaz and Barcelona have gotten stronger over the past days. This same topic, which I presumed would be over, has gotten more light than it was a few months ago, and we all know the main reason for this saga to return is because Nico Williams decides to stay at Athletic Club for ten years with a release clause of 90-100 million euros now.
There is no way anyone in Europe, except Saudi clubs, will pay that release clause next summer or in 2028, and I am sure Barcelona are done with the player, as that door will be closed, because if you check everything, he played for Barcelona and got a higher salary, plus bonuses from Athletic Club. It has been reported by Fabrizio Romano that Barcelona has made the decision to push hard for Luis Diaz since he has always been their main target before the start of the summer window.
This week Barcelona plans to submit another proposal to Liverpool for Luis Diaz as the club wants to try again to see the possibility of exploring the move to happen this summer. Liverpool made it clear to Bayern Munich last week that they are not going to sell the Colombian winger, and they have already told Barcelona the same before they focused on Nico Williams, but Barcelona are still going to push because now there is a new development in this story.
Luis Diaz is keen on the move now to FC Barcelona, which is an interesting development in this story. This could increase FC Barcelona's chances of signing the Colombian winger this summer. It seems now that Luis Diaz doesn't want to stay at Liverpool, and I won't blame him because when a club like FC Barcelona is coming for you, it will be hard to say no to the club, so it is understandable.
Now the main target for Barcelona will be how to pay a fee that won't seem a lot, because according to some reports in the past months, it was said that Liverpool wants a fee of 80 million euros, and I doubt Barcelona will negotiate to pay that amount for Luis Diaz. It all depends on how the club-to-club negotiation will go down, but there will be nothing much Liverpool could do if the player is keen on the move to Barcelona.
This Luis Diaz saga could change Liverpool's stance on letting Federico Chiesa leave this summer, but there is still time and as the weeks go we will see if anything will happen in this transfer saga. So, guys, that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
