'All roads lead to Luis Diaz' read one head in the Catalan paper sport earlier this year, with the Liverpool star reportedly at the top of the list of priorities for Barcelona director of Football Deco. In the course of the past year there have been consistent ties to the Blaugrana, both from Barcelona and the birthday of Colombia from Diaz.
The core of the problem is that Diaz will only have two years in his Liverpool contract in the summer, and there is no certainty that he will extend his deal on Anfield. If the case is that Liverpool does not bind him to a new deal, it would be logical for them to cash in the 28-year-old before the following summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, there have been no claims in terms of contract discussions, nor were discussions left in an advanced phase for a new deal for Diaz. He explained the daily briefing that there has been no movement on either side of the comparison in the past three months. Romano also notes that there were already questions from Saudi Arabian parties in January, but that Diaz declined every approach to leave the mid -season.
In terms of the situation of Barcelona, details of the Italian transfer journalist who are although there are people in Barcelona who like and appreciate Diaz, it is 'too early' to say whether they will move for him, or will indeed be able to do this.
Even last summer it was reported that Diaz was the first choice of Deco for the left wing position, which he reportedly gave a priority for the summer. Nico Williams was the player they strive for last year, but if they have the space in their salary limit, Diaz seems to be the number one target. Deco also wants to bring a right back this summer.
