According to a report, Barcelona has identified Liverpool’s Luis Diaz as their primary target for the winger position in the upcoming summer transfer window.
As La Blaugrana aim to bolster their squad for the 2024/25 season, they have been exploring various options for a new wide forward. Among the candidates, Diaz stands out prominently, with Catalan outlet Mundo Deportivo stating that Barcelona has earmarked him as their “most desired” option.
It’s understood that the Colombian international would be open to a move to Barcelona. Negotiations could involve matching his current Liverpool salary, and Barcelona is prepared to generate funds through player sales and new commercial agreements with Nike and Barca Studios.

Diaz’s father has previously expressed his son’s admiration for Barcelona, stating, “Luis is a loyal Barcelona fan, and it would be his dream to go there.” Should Barcelona manage to assemble a sufficient bid for Liverpool, Diaz is reportedly willing to play his part in facilitating the transfer.
However, Barcelona has also identified alternative options in case the move for Diaz doesn’t materialize. Athletic Club’s Nico Williams, RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo, and Porto’s Brazilian international Pepe are among the other wingers under consideration by the Catalan club.
