Neither Salah nor Darwin: the Liverpool star who offers himself to Deco to play for Flick's Barça

FC Barcelona are interested in signing a left winger in the upcoming summer transfer window. The director of football, Deco , is combing the major European leagues in search of a winger who will increase the competition in Barça's attacking trident. The main problem for the candidates on the agenda of the sporting director is their contractual situation .

Nico Williams has a contract in force has a contract in force at Athletic Club until 2027 , while Rafael Leao and Marcus Rashford remain tied to their respective clubs until 2028. However, there is a good, pretty and cheap player who is also crazy about wearing the Barça shirt: Luis Díaz . As we have already explained in Culemanía , the Colombian star, whose contract expires in 2027, wants to join the Catalan club .

"It would be your dream"

In fact, according to the Què t'hi jugues programme , the club headed by Joan Laporta has the Colombian magician on its radar, and the player wants to come. The Liverpool striker's desire is not news. What is news is the will of Barça , which sees Lucho as a market opportunity . Precisely, the negotiations for the forward's renewal remain paralysed , waiting for the Barcelona team.

Without further ado, the player's own father revealed Luis Díaz's footballing dream in an interview with WinSportsTV at the end of 2023, after being the victim of a kidnapping that ended in a happy ending : " Luis is a loyal Barça fan and it would be his dream to come to Barcelona ."

Low salary and contract until 2027

The information cited claims that, despite landing at Anfield for 53 million euros , the 28-year-old striker receives an affordable salary for the Catalan club. However, the red club can still afford to keep their number 7. The Barrancas-born striker's value has risen to 85 million euros on Transfermarkt and his contract is valid until 2027

In 35 appearances for the Premier League and Champions League leaders, Luis Díaz has scored 13 goals and provided two assists . He is not the most goal-scoring profile, but he provides the imbalance that is lacking in the Barça dugout. Beyond Raphinha and Lamine Yamal , the Barça squad suffers from a lack of depth on the wings. Ferran Torres is more of a centre forward than a dribbling winger and Ansu Fati is at his lowest point of form.
