Barcelona has started determining their list of potential goals for the summer transfer window, which should be a busy now that they are finally back in the 1: 1 rule of La Liga. An area that is likely to be addressed is left wings, with club bosses who would like to sign a big signature in the position.
Rafael Leao continues to lead the peloton in this respect, but another player who keeps watching Barcelona is Luis Diaz. Sports director Deco is a big fan of the Colombian international, which he wanted to sign from Liverpool last summer before a deal was ultimately not considered feasible.
According to TeamTalk (via MD), Barcelona is planning to reinvent their interest in Diaz at the end of the season. Although he has been a permanent starter for Liverpool this season, there is a chance that he could be sold in the summer, because Cody Gakpo has settled as the primary left wing player in front of Arne Slot, who is currently leading the Premier League .
However, Barcelona will not be easy to sign Diaz, and not just because of their well -documented financial misery. The report also says that Saudi Arabia shows a strong interest for the 28-year-old, with Hilal and Al-Nassr being the clubs at this stage.
Al Hilal is looking for a Neymar Junior replacement, in which the former winger of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain ended his contract earlier this year to return to Boyhood Club Santos. In the meantime, Al-Nassr Diaz wants to re-unite with Colombia teammate Jhon Duran, who signed from Aston Villa in January.
Although Diaz is a very good player, he is certainly not an upgrade on Raphinha in the left position in Barcelona. It would certainly be more logical for a better option to be the target, and therefore to leave Saudi Arabia with a clear run to negotiate with Liverpool.
