Luis Díaz's future at Liverpool is in question. The '7' has one of the lowest salaries in the squad and the 'reds' have yet to improve his contract
FC Barcelona is still 'scouting' the market for left wingers in search of the ideal reinforcement for the position. Aside from the situation with Nico Williams, whose signing is no longer such a clear option for the sports management, names like Rafael Leao or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are emerging as strong candidates to wear the blue and garnet jersey starting next summer.
However, the portal 'TEAMTalk' has reported that the Catalans could have a 'bombshell' in sight. According to the English media, the situation of Luis Díaz at Liverpool is becoming delicate. The Colombian has maintained the same salary since arriving from Porto and is located at the lower end of the salary scale, which is why his camp has been trying to reach an agreement with the club to improve his contract.
Nevertheless, despite the importance of the Colombian in Arne Slot's team, the 'reds' management is not convinced about increasing the winger's salary, which is why rumors about the possible departure of the South American from Anfield Road have surged.
Barça could make another move for Díaz
The 27-year-old player, whose contract expires in 2026, was already on Barça's radar last summer, and if a signing becomes feasible, the Catalans could make another move for his acquisition for the next season. However, this operation would not be cheap, as they would demand an amount close to 80 million euros for his sale.
Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan would also be after him. In fact, the interest of the 'rossoneri' in Díaz could finally open the door for Leao, a scenario that could be exploited in the City of Barcelona to sign the Portuguese, a great desire of Joan Laporta. The search for wingers continues.
