Liverpool winger **Luis Díaz** has reportedly informed the club of his desire to leave Anfield and join **FC Barcelona** this summer. According to *Mundo Deportivo* (via *Barça Universal*), Díaz’s agent has formally communicated the player’s wish to play under **Hansi Flick** next season. The Colombian international, who has been a key figure for Liverpool since joining from FC Porto in January 2022, has **41 goals and 23 assists in 148 appearances**. Last season, he contributed **17 goals and 8 assists in 50 games**, playing a crucial role in Liverpool’s **Premier League title triumph**.
Despite his importance to the team, Díaz has reportedly rejected a contract extension with Liverpool, signaling his openness to a new challenge. He also turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Pro League side **Al-Nassr**, making it clear that his priority is a move to **Barcelona**. Díaz is said to be particularly eager to join Flick’s project at Camp Nou, where he would play alongside stars like **Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski**. His versatility and work rate make him an attractive option for Barça’s attacking setup. However, securing the transfer won’t be straightforward.
Liverpool have reportedly set an **€85 million price tag**, a figure that could be problematic for Barcelona given their financial constraints. Yet, with Díaz pushing for the move, there is optimism that a **reduced fee** could be negotiated. Both clubs are coming off strong domestic campaigns. Under **Arne Slot**, Liverpool won their **second-ever Premier League title**, while **Hansi Flick** led Barcelona to a historic **treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup)** and dominated Real Madrid in all four Clásico meetings.
Despite their domestic success, Barcelona’s Champions League run ended in a controversial semi-final defeat to Inter Milan. Adding Díaz could strengthen their squad for another European push next season. As negotiations progress, Díaz’s future remains uncertain. Will Liverpool hold firm on their valuation, or will Barcelona find a way to secure their desired winger? The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the outcome of this high-profile transfer saga.
