Barcelona’s pursuit of Nico Williams has been well documented, with the club now even involved in an all-out war with Athletic Club.
The Basque club have no desire to offload Nico and have asked La Liga to block the transfer owing to Barcelona’s economic condition.
Despite the intense focus on Nico, though, it was reported earlier that Diaz is still harbouring the dream of joining Barcelona.
Liverpool not accepting normal offers for Luis Diaz
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has offered an update on Luis Diaz’s transfer saga.
The Italian journalists suggest that Liverpool may only consider the Colombian international’s transfer if they receive a ‘very huge’ bid.

As of now, nothing has been decided as far as Diaz’s future is concerned, which suggests the status quo.
Romano adds that Barcelona did try to get hold of Diaz about a month ago, but were vehemently rebuffed by Liverpool.
That was when the Catalans started to shift their attention towards Nico Williams, making the Spanish international their top target.
This implies there is a good chance that the Colombian international is unlikely to come to Catalonia unless Liverpool greatly reduce their demand for the attacker.
Barcelona’s immediate focus remains on Nico Williams, who is widely wanted by the Barcelona dressing room owing to his good relationship with some of the team members, including Lamine Yamal.
As for Diaz, there is a good chance he may remain at Liverpool next season.
