Barcelona has made Liverpool -wing player Luis Diaz their top objective for next summer, because it was considered last summer by the Catalan giants. Eventually they chose to first chase Nico Williams and then Dani Olmo, successfully in the last thing. Diaz, however, was the first choice of director of Voetbaldeco, and he is adamant about the value of the Colombians.
It has raised some eyebrows, in theory that the front three is the area of ​​the team that is most impressed by Hansi Flick this season. Diaz would give Barcelona another option on the left wing, where Raphinha had operated on apparently duplicating agents.
According to Sport, Deco thinks that Raphinha will go inside to play behind Robert Lewandowski, with Diaz taking his place on the left. The shape of the Brazilian for the goal and coming into the box has always made him centrally centrally made him, and sometimes this season he has already been played in the number 10 position, both early, and while Barcelona was looking for goals late in competitions. It is where Flick feels that he is at his best.
That is of course the position where Barcelona is demonstrably the most strong, where Dani Olmo and Fermin Lopez share the role this season. Olmo sometimes struggled in his debut season, due to problems with injuries and registration, while Lopez has demonstrably submitted more minutes.
If Raphinha goes behind Lewandowski, it would in theory leave their signing of € 55 million in the bank just a year after arrival. There has been a suggestion that Manchester City could offer him, but Olmo is supposed to be focused on staying in Barcelona
There is still a long way to go before this becomes a reality. Diaz is priced at around € 85 million, a figure that has recently appears to be out of reach for Barcelona, ​​and certainly requires that they solve their salary limit problems. Liverpool -manager Arne Slot also made it clear that he did not think about entertaining a move for Diaz.
