Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been asked about Barcelona’s interest in Luis Diaz after Deco made it clear his club are fans of the forward.
The Catalans are said to have made the Colombia international their top transfer target this summer, but Slot doesn’t seem to bothered by the situation.
Here’s what he told his pre-match press conference when asked about Deco’s comments:
“Did Deco say this about Diaz in the microphone or is that from hearsay?” he told reporters.
“Yes, every club has his own way of doing things. I don’t talk about players from other clubs.
“I understand he is a big admirer of Lucho Diaz. I am a big admirer of him as well. He is a great player and had a great season. I admire Lamine Yamal and Raphinha!”
Diaz has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season for Liverpool to help the club win the Premier League title. A summer exit is a possibility, although a lofty price tag may mean he’s out of Barca’s reach.
