Luis Díaz, waiting on FC Barcelona: his dream, in the club's hands

Luis Díaz is set to be one of the main protagonists of the upcoming transfer market for FC Barcelona. The club's sports management has prioritized the arrival of a reinforcement for the forward line for the next season, and although several names are part of the club's 'casting' of wingers, the Colombian is currently the option that the Catalans prefer the most.

The 'Guajiro', for his part, would welcome his arrival in the Catalan capital. This is reported by 'Mundo Deportivo', which states that sources close to 'Lucho' have revealed that the player is on the lookout for any movement from the blaugrana institution to know if they will bet on him or not during the summer sale.

The South American dreams of playing at Spotify Camp Nou and is willing to wait as long as necessary to make this wish come true, but he does not want to get his hopes up until he sees that the blaugrana club gives him some sign that they are going for him. After four seasons at Liverpool, and despite being linked to the team until 2027, the forward believes he is facing an unbeatable opportunity to take another leap in his career, and if he receives the call from the Catalans, he will not hesitate to pack his bags for Catalonia.

The key for Barça to take on the signing of Luis Díaz

The Barça has already made informal contacts with Díaz's camp to gauge his signing, but they are aware of the difficulties that his operation entails. Firstly, his transfer could exceed 70 million euros, a figure that the club will have to manage under the restrictions of the financial 'fair play' of LaLiga. Furthermore, his contractual situation strengthens the position of the 'reds' to negotiate this summer, making it difficult to acquire him for a lower price.

On the other hand, if his incorporation materializes, players like Ferran Torres could be affected, as to balance the finances, the culés might consider his departure, with clubs like Newcastle and Aston Villa interested in him. Similarly, other names like Ansu Fati would also be on the brink, aiming to free up salary mass to register 'Lucho's' contract.

Apart from the interest from Saudi Arabia in his signing, what is clear is that Díaz is a clear option for the blaugranas, who continue to analyze the risks of an operation that could be one of the big surprises of the summer window. The forward, for his part, is not in a hurry, as the 'reds' would not mind negotiating the renewal of his contract if the Catalans ultimately do not pursue his signing. The 'soap opera' will heat up in the coming weeks.
