Liverpool star Luis Diaz is reportedly considering a transfer this summer, with Barcelona showing serious interest in bringing the Colombian winger to Camp Nou. According to a report by Spanish outlet AS, Diaz is keen on joining the Catalan giants and is willing to make the move, even under challenging circumstances.
Diaz’s Unusual RequestOne of the standout details in the report is Diaz’s special condition for completing the move. The Colombian international has informed Barcelona that if they are unable to register him before the La Liga deadline on August 31, he expects significant financial compensation.
Without being officially registered, Diaz would be ineligible to play until January, which could delay his debut by several months. To account for this gap, Diaz is seeking a contractual assurance that he will still be fairly paid and protected financially during the waiting period. This shows that while he’s committed to making the switch, he wants to ensure there’s a safety net in place if registration issues arise.
Despite the risk, Diaz is said to be open to the move — provided this compensation clause is agreed upon. Barcelona have reportedly started early contract discussions with his representatives, signaling that they’re actively working to meet his terms.
Liverpool’s PositionIt remains uncertain how Liverpool will respond. Diaz was a key figure in their attack last season, playing an essential role alongside Mohamed Salah. His creativity, pressing, and goal-scoring contribution were vital to the Reds’ forward line.
While Liverpool has already made a splash in the transfer market by signing Florian Wirtz, their attack still lacks reliable depth, especially with ongoing questions around other forwards. Selling Diaz now — even for a substantial fee — could leave the squad exposed, particularly as the team looks to remain competitive both domestically and in Europe.
With just weeks left in the summer window, all eyes are now on how the situation unfolds. Diaz’s desire to join Barcelona is clear, but it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will sanction the move — or whether Barcelona can navigate their financial limits to make it happen.
