Barcelona may soon receive an unexpected boost in their bid to sign Liverpool winger Luis Díaz, all thanks to a potential transfer decision by their rivals, Real Madrid.
After missing out on Nico Williams, Barcelona has shifted their focus fully to Díaz, whom they see as a crucial piece for their post-Xavi rebuild. However, Liverpool have remained adamant that Díaz is not available for transfer.
Now, Real Madrid could inadvertently influence the situation. Reports suggest Liverpool are keen on signing Rodrygo from Madrid. If Los Blancos agree to let the Brazilian leave, it could encourage Liverpool to soften their stance on Díaz, particularly if they receive both funds and a capable replacement.
Madrid’s potential decision might be financially or strategically motivated — possibly to fund other big moves like Kylian Mbappé — but it might unintentionally assist Barcelona by unlocking Díaz’s availability.
For Barça, Díaz would be a tailor-made attacking reinforcement. For Madrid, offloading Rodrygo could strengthen their overall squad, but it also risks handing their biggest rivals a significant advantage.
As the transfer window progresses, all attention turns to Madrid’s next steps — which could have major implications in Spain’s football rivalry, not just on the pitch but in the market as well.
