According to the Spanish Outlet Relo, Barcelona has identified sports director Deco Liverpool Luis Díaz Díaz as the best target of the club for the coming summer transfer window. The goal is to inject the team with adult experience and the attack of Flair, but this would require more than € 80 million in funds.
Although Barcelona is currently celebrating their title profit, Deco has quietly started planning the following season and focuses on reinforcements for the weaknesses of the team. Colombian international Luis Díaz is the first choice thanks to its top league experience, dribble skills and typical South American flair, but the high asking price of Liverpool and the complexity of negotiations can be important obstacles.
Deco pointed out that Barcelona is currently too religious on Raphinha and Lamine Yamal and urgently needs a distinctive and explosive winger. The 28-year-old Díaz has contributed 41 goals and 23 assists in the past three seasons for Liverpool. His adulthood and Champions League experience are considered crucial for strengthening the team.
Although other goals such as Nico Williams were on the list earlier, Díaz is now the higher priority. Liverpool, who recently lost important players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, takes on a solid attitude. Barcelona must rely on the “1: 1 financial rule” to raise more than € 80 million, making the deal considerably more challenging.
In addition to stimulating the attack, Deco emphasized the importance of retaining important players to prevent instability. Changes in the goalkeeper and Spits positions can also be on the table, with the aim of building a title contenting team with a balanced age structure for new manager Hansi Flick.
