FC Barcelona’s long-standing target, Luis Díaz, has once again expressed a strong desire to join the Blaugrana, with the Catalan giants now reevaluating their options after their move for Nico Williams fell apart spectacularly.
Softfootball has learned from inside sources that the Colombian winger’s camp quietly kept the Barcelona dream alive, despite the club publicly prioritizing Williams over Díaz.
With the Nico Williams deal now off the table, Díaz’s entourage has formally signaled their renewed interest in making the move happen.
Mundo Deportivo earlier reported that, unlike Nico Williams, whose representatives demanded registration guarantees before committing, Luis Díaz is open to joining Barcelona without any conditions.
He’s reportedly willing to accept a move without mandatory registration clauses or fallback release terms, following in the footsteps of Joan García and Dani Olmo, who joined Barcelona without guarantees.
Softfootball can confirm that talks are ongoing between Barcelona and Luis Díaz’s agent, with significant progress made in recent days. The Colombian international is also said to be prepared to request an exit from Liverpool, but is currently holding off due to the tragic passing of his teammate, Diogo Jota.
With the football world, especially Liverpool FC, still mourning, Díaz is waiting for a more appropriate time to formally push for the transfer. The emotional context surrounding Jota’s death could influence Liverpool’s stance, as the club may be hesitant to part with another key attacker at this time.
However, Díaz has made it clear he sees his future away from Anfield, and Barcelona remains his top destination.
