Barcelona “makes Luis Diaz choice” while Liverpool loses the £51 million transfer dispute.
Busy Summer Ahead for Liverpool as Transfer Rumors Swirl
Liverpool are expected to have an active summer transfer window if the latest rumors hold true. Although the Reds haven’t secured any new signings yet, there is persistent speculation about potential additions to their squad. Jurgen Klopp is set to leave his role as manager, with Arne Slot officially taking over as head coach on Saturday.
Slot will have the responsibility of preparing the Liverpool squad for the upcoming season. The 45-year-old may look to bring in new players and assess the current squad at Anfield.
Barcelona reportedly remain interested in acquiring Luis Diaz from Liverpool. The La Liga club has been linked with the Colombian international for several weeks. According to journalist Jose Alvarez on Spanish news outlet El Chiringuito, Barcelona are determined to make a “top signing” this summer. Hansi Flick will become the new manager at Camp Nou following Xavi’s departure earlier this month.
The report suggests that Barcelona have identified Diaz as one of two potential targets to bolster their forward line this summer, with Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams also on their radar. Diaz, who joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022, is under contract at Anfield until 2027. This season, he scored 13 goals and provided five assists in all competitions for the Reds.
