It is unlikely that Barcelona will re-introduce the current transfer race this summer to sign Liverpool star Luis Diaz this summer.
As reported in recent days, Barcelona has stepped aside and Liverpool has been informed of their intentions while Bayern Munich performs their efforts to take him to Bavaria.
It is the second time this summer La Blaugrana it came together with the Bundesliga champions of Vincent Kompany after they have both lost Nico Williams.
However, Barcelona has not given up all hope for Diaz, but he is no longer a priority, because Marcus Rashford is getting closer to a seasonal hose switch from Manchester United.
Liverpool does not want to sell unless he ultimately refuses their contract extension offer, but Arne Slot makes the German giants sweat.
According to the report of the German Outlet Bildpool, Liverpool immediately rejected two offers, and there is no confirmation that they accept a third party unless it meets their requirements.
Rumor has that Liverpool has rejected offers of € 52 million and € 67.5 million and they will accept nothing less than € 80 million for the Colombia International.
The report claims that the situation is 'progressing and that concrete negotiations can start soon', but there is still some distance between them.
Rumor has that Diaz agreed on an annual contract of € 14 million until 2029, but there has been no movement on the part of Liverpool.
Barcelona will keep that stand -although he was priced earlier, while Kompany could still walk away.
The despair of Bayern Munich to bring in a new player on the left side of their attack has weakened their negotiating attitude and can retain Liverpool.
However, if Bayern Munich pulls the plug and Diaz opts for an Anfield renewal, the Premier League holders can then be forced to drop their price and bring Barcelona back into play.
