Barcelona is considering investing 72 million pounds (about 134 billion won) to recruit Luis Díaz (28, Liverpool).
Spain's "Sport" said on the 21st (Korea time), "Barcelona has predicted Díaz as a major target in the summer transfer market," adding, "Han Ji-flick (60), who wants to take a leap forward after overcoming the pain of elimination from the Champions League semifinals, will make a surprise recruitment."
Currently, Barcelona evaluates Diaz from Colombia as one of the pillars of the triangular formation along with Hafinya (29) and Ramin Yamal (18). Diaz, who mainly plays on the left, has been playing well since joining Liverpool, where he can also play on the front line and the right side.
Diaz moved from Porto (Portugal) to Liverpool in 2022. He was paid 50 million pounds (93.1 billion won). Diaz has scored 41 goals and 23 assists in 147 matches for Liverpool. He has 13 goals (seven assists) in the Premier League this season.
Díaz was primarily a left winger under Jurgen Klopp. However, after the change to the Arne slot manager system, Cody Gakpo was placed on the left and Díaz often moved to the center.
Liverpool, which won the Premier League title, recently re-signed two of its three key players. Mohamed Salah, 33, and Virgil van Dijk, 34, both signed two-year extension contracts. However, Trent Alexander-Arnold has failed to reach an agreement and is expected to be released as a free agent.
Now, with Liverpool having to decide on Díaz's future, Barcelona is aiming for Díaz. If Díaz joins, Barcelona will be able to build the best second-line resources along with Hafinha and Yamal.
His interest in Díaz was largely attributable to Barcelona's failure to advance to the semifinals of the Champions League. Barcelona lost to Inter Milan 6-7 on aggregate in the first and second legs. Flick, who missed the treble, decided that Díaz was needed to help Barcelona make a leap next season.
Barcelona, in particular, is ready to risk £72 million in spending to bring in Díaz. Barcelona is regaining financial stability as the opening of its new Camp Nou home stadium is nearing its end.
In a recent interview with "Telemundo," Díaz said, "I'll talk about re-contracting, but I can stay for years," but added, "But it all depends on discussions with the club." 온라인카지노
"This is a problem that will be solved separately," he said, adding, "I'm very calm, happy, and enjoying the Premier League." He also expressed satisfaction with his life in Liverpool.
