FC Barcelona activates the signing of Luis Díaz, Colombian striker for Liverpool

Luis Díaz is the left winger who generates the most consensus at Barça, but his price makes him a difficult target. Even so, the Catalans would have a plan and the player would do his part if it were viable. Kingsley Coman (Bayern) and Rafa Leão (Milan) are also on the radar.

The operation has a high degree of economic complexity, because the 'Reds' have not exactly valued 'Lucho' at a low price. The sale amount of the former Porto player is estimated between 60 and 80 million euros, an amount subject to negotiation. It is important to remember that the player does not have a termination clause in his contract with Liverpool, which ends in 2027. At this point, it is also important to remember that although Luis Díaz does not seem to dislike the idea of ​​continuing to play at Anfield, the idea of ​​joining FC Barcelona could also be very tempting for him.

Luis Díaz, a more established and experienced profile

Despite being one of the wingers who have 'dominated' Europe in recent times, Liverpool are demanding more of a role and impact from him. He has been involved in several physical problems that have slowed his progress at Liverpool, but he still lacks that 'extra step' to convince. He had been a marvel at Porto, but at Anfield there was a feeling that they expected more.

He is a consolidated winger, due to his age and career, with an infinite number of resources to generate superiority and to position himself in the rival area to define or set up his teammates. He constantly relies on his speed (and his changes of pace), with the option of slowing down easily if the play requires it to find a shot or passing lines to a teammate.

His great skills make it difficult to defend him with just one player, so they generally have to put a double mark on him to try to stop him. He is a machine for generating danger, but also a great finisher. He has a great long-range shot, while he usually helps out in setbacks effectively and supports whoever plays on the wing, sharing the defensive duties, a point that, although he does fulfill, he has to continue improving.

He is a footballer who, unlike Nico Williams, is much more experienced and has less to 'learn' or improve, although it should be noted that he suffers from periods in which he disappears from matches. Last season, in 51 games (3,613 minutes) he only scored 13 goals and provided five assists. He only participates once (goal/assist) every 200 minutes, very low figures for a winger who, in his day, cost 45 million euros fixed plus 15 million in variables.
