Luis Díaz and Barça, closer?: The key that excites the club

Luis Díaz is set to be the main protagonist of FC Barcelona's summer window. The main objective of the azulgrana entity is to strengthen the left wing for the upcoming season, and the Colombian has emerged as the absolute priority of the sports management, surpassing alternatives like Rafael Leao or Nico Williams, who are also part of the 'casting'.

The arrival of the South American to the Catalan city, which was already explored in the past, has gone from being a utopia to a more than real option. The player's profile is very much to the liking of Deco, who knows him perfectly from his time at Porto and has not lost track of him since his arrival at Liverpool, and his situation with the 'reds' has tipped the scales in his favor.

And it is that on a sporting level, Arne Slot has not found a place for him in his scheme, using him both as a winger and as a center forward, and would not see his transfer as a bad thing to make way for the signing of a player who fits his system. Furthermore, in terms of contracts, his commitment to the Merseyside club expires in 2027 and there are no news about his renewal, so all the culés would have his signing 'within reach'.

The key that excites Barça with the signing of Díaz

In this sense, the newspaper 'AS' has revealed that from the offices of Spotify Camp Nou, they are already rubbing their hands with the more than possible incorporation of 'Lucho' into the ranks of Hansi Flick. The Catalan institution learned last Tuesday its Salary Cost Limit, which rose to €463.642 million, which represents an increase of €37 million compared to the last valuation.

This margin, combined with the return to the 1:1 rule, will allow the azulgranas to comfortably take on the signing of a top-level player next summer, and the chosen one is the 'Guajiro'. This new economic reality leaves the culés with a huge space to move freely in the market, so if Liverpool and the player do not put too many obstacles, everything points to the operation reaching a successful conclusion without problems.

Luis Díaz dreams of wearing azulgrana

Díaz, for his part, would be delighted to continue his career in the Catalan city. At 28 years old, the player is facing the golden opportunity to fulfill the dream of his life, which involves defending the azulgrana jersey, as he has previously confessed to being a fan of Barça.

In fact, from Colombia, it is reported that the forward's environment has already contacted the club to explore the possibility of organizing an operation with Liverpool, although so far there have been no significant movements in this regard. However, the sports management has him well positioned on their agenda and the numbers add up, so everything could be set in motion in the coming months.
