Earlier this month, Luis Díaz said Liverpool have to make a decision on extending his contract beyond 2027. The forward also stated that he would stay at Anfield for many years if it were up to him.
This hasn’t stopped him from being linked to Barcelona. A ‘confidential’ report from Sport claims the 28-year-old is their ‘favourite’ and a ‘dream’ target.
Barcelona have shown interest in the Liverpool player before but weren’t able to complete the signing due to their economic situation.
The La Liga winners’ board expect to get out of the financial crisis if their predictions are to be met. If that were to happen, they could return for the Colombia international in the summer window.
Sport state the Reds value the former FC Porto man at around €80m. Should Barcelona overcome their economic struggles, their intention is to snatch the attacker away from Arne Slot’s side.
Barca sporting director Deco loves Díaz, who is also ‘seduced’ by the idea of moving to the Camp Nou. He currently earns €3.5m per year and Sport state the Catalan club can match and even improve it.
Liverpool would have to make decision if Barcelona offer €80m for the South American.
