Barcelona’s interest in Liverpool winger Luis Díaz remains active, but the club is proceeding with caution, refusing to pay more than €60 million for the Colombian star. Fernando Polo reports that Barça will not engage in a bidding war, especially with Bayern Munich now pushing for Díaz with a stronger financial package.
While talks with Díaz’s representatives continue, Barcelona are also preparing backup plans. Sporting Director Deco and coach Hansi Flick have compiled a list of more affordable winger targets, including emerging talents like Nico Williams, to avoid financial strain. The club is also considering La Masia prospects such as Estanis Pedrola and Marc Guiu if a big signing doesn’t materialize.
Barça’s financial discipline under Joan Laporta remains a priority, as the club seeks to avoid the reckless spending of past seasons. While Díaz remains intrigued by the Barcelona project, Bayern’s readiness to offer higher wages and fees could sway the player.
The next few days are pivotal, with Flick keen for clarity on his attacking options before pre-season progresses. Barcelona’s position is clear: they admire Díaz but will only proceed if the deal aligns with their financial recovery plan.
