He will meet his manager to express his desire to leave Liverpool.
Barcelona continues to strive for the winger that the team wants to strengthen. The refusal of Nico Williams to sign for Barcelona has led Luis Díaz and Marcus Rashford to be the two players that the club is currently striving for. They play both sides, aware of the difficulty of the operation of the Liverpool player. Rashford, a player who wants to unload Manchester United and is desperate to sign for Barcelona, is an easier option.
Now it's Luis Díaz's turn. Liverpool returns to the training this Monday after the summer holidays. The script for this deal indicates that it is now time for the Colombians to make his move. The idea is that he meeting Arne Slot to inform him about his intention to leave Liverpool and the English club to allow his departure. It should be noted that a few days ago the British club even refused to listen to an offer from Bayern Munich for the striker. In Germany they reported this Monday that the striker has an agreement with the German club, something that was not recorded in Barcelona.
Meeting with Slot
Díaz will clearly communicate his intentions to the Liverpool manager. At the same time, his agent will also speak to the board to convey the same message. It is still to be seen what the reaction of his club will be. The club is going through a very difficult time after the death of Diogo Jota, whose funeral was held last weekend. It has been a tragedy on a personal level and also has an impact on the sports side because the forward line of the Reds has lost one of his most important players.
Liverpool's position
We will have to see what Slot's position is. It seems unlikely that he will easily agree with the exit of the Colombians. And Barcelona knows this. It is not a simple or fast processing. His departure will take time and will depend on the conviction of Luis Díaz when he announces his wish to leave the club. And it will not be cheap. His price tag is around 80 million euros. And Barcelona does not in any way have enough “fair play” to allow the player to participate.
Rashford, easier
This circumstance makes the signing of Rashford more affordable. Especially if he manages to convince Manchester United to accept a loan agreement instead of a sale. If this were the case, the Catalan club could even consider signing both players. Everything depends on the fair play that can be generated in the coming weeks when one of the two players leaves.
Two bands
Given these circumstances, Barcelona continues to play a double game with Díaz and Rashford. It wants to keep both deals open while waiting to see which signing it can make. It will not be fast because it depends on many factors. First of all, it depends on this meeting that Luis Díaz has planned with his coach.
