Liverpool winger **Luis Díaz** has reportedly made his intentions clear: he wants to leave Anfield and complete a move to **FC Barcelona** in the current transfer window. According to *Mundo Deportivo* (via *Barça Universal*), Díaz’s agent has formally notified Liverpool of the player’s desire to play under **Hansi Flick** next season.
Díaz, who is under contract with the Merseyside club until 2027, has been a consistent performer since his arrival from FC Porto in January 2022. The Colombian international has racked up **41 goals and 23 assists in 148 appearances** across all competitions. During the recently concluded 2024/25 campaign, he contributed **17 goals and 8 assists in 50 games**, playing a key role in **Liverpool’s Premier League title triumph**.
### Rejected Extension and Saudi Move
Earlier this season, Díaz reportedly declined negotiations over a contract extension with Liverpool, indicating his openness to a new chapter. He also turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Pro League side **Al-Nassr**, emphasizing that his priority is a move to **Barcelona**. Reports suggest that the 28-year-old is particularly eager to be part of Flick’s dynamic project at the Camp Nou, playing alongside the likes of **Lamine Yamal, Raphinha**, and **Robert Lewandowski**.
### The Price Tag and Financial Hurdles
Despite Barcelona’s interest, signing Díaz won’t come easily. Liverpool have reportedly set an **€85 million price tag**, a figure that could prove challenging for Barça given their well-known financial limitations. However, with the player pushing for the move, there is growing optimism that a **reduced fee** might be negotiated between the two clubs.
### Context: A Successful Season for Both Clubs
Both clubs enter the summer window on the back of **highly successful domestic seasons** under new managers. Arne Slot led Liverpool to their **second-ever Premier League title**, ending a five-year wait, and also guided the Reds to the EFL Cup final and the Champions League Round of 16.
Meanwhile, Hansi Flick’s debut season at Barcelona was a domestic masterclass. The Blaugrana completed a **historic treble**—winning **La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup**—while also dominating arch-rivals **Real Madrid** in all four Clásico encounters this season, including two finals. Their Champions League run ended dramatically in the semi-finals at the hands of Inter Milan.
