Liverpool Winger Pushes for Camp Nou Move as Catalan Giants Navigate Financial Hurdles
Barcelona have swiftly turned their attention to Liverpool’s Luis Díaz after missing out on primary transfer target Nico Williams, who signed a surprise 10-year contract extension with Athletic Club on Friday. The Colombian winger has now become the Blaugrana’s priority, with Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford as a secondary option.
Sources confirm that Díaz is eager to force a move to Camp Nou and has instructed his agents to push for a transfer. The 27-year-old has previously hinted at uncertainty over his Liverpool future, telling reporters that talks were ongoing about his next steps. Barcelona have been informed that the Reds may be open to a sale as they look to balance the books for their own incoming signings, including Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.
A key advantage for Barcelona is Díaz’s willingness to avoid contractual demands over registration—unlike the stalled negotiations for Williams. However, the Catalan club still faces financial obstacles, as La Liga’s strict spending rules require them to offload players before completing any major signings.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are holding firm on an €80-85 million valuation and have already rejected an initial approach from Barcelona. Out of respect for the Merseyside club following the tragic passing of Diogo Jota, no immediate move is expected. But with Díaz determined to join and Barcelona accelerating talks, this transfer saga could develop quickly in the coming weeks.
