Problems in Barça's 'extreme operation'! City interferes in the signing of Luis Díaz

The 'extreme operation' is beginning to represent a big 'headache' for FC Barcelona. After Nico Williams' option was definitively dropped once the Navarrese decided to continue wearing the Athletic Club shirt next season, from the Spotify Camp Nou offices they started the machinery to get a new reinforcement for the left side of the front.

Options like Kingsley Coman appeared on the horizon, but it is the name of Luis Díaz that is most convincing in Barcelona. The Colombian is an old desire of the club, which has had him on its agenda for a couple of years and considered him as one of the great alternatives for the attack at the beginning of the summer before deciding on the youngest of the Williams. However, with the signing of the latter completely ruled out, the culés would have put their focus back on the Colombian.

Despite this, his transfer will not be easy. Firstly, because 'Guajiro' is one of Liverpool's most important footballers, where Arne Slot considers him a key piece in his new adventure on the Anfield Road bench. And also, because the player is the object of desire of several of the continent's big clubs, with Manchester City being one of the strongest betting on his incorporation into Pep Guardiola's squad.

Sampedor's team suffered a 'significant' loss with the departure of Julián Álvarez to Atlético de Madrid, so they would like to allocate the money from the Argentine's transfer to hiring a guaranteed replacement and the South American would be the chosen one. According to what was reported in 'El Chiringuito', from the offices of the Etihad Stadium they would be willing to pay 70 million euros to the 'reds' so that 'Lucho' wears the light blue shirt next season.

Barça still has options

Beyond all this, the truth is that the situation between the 'citizens' and the 27-year-old forward, as of today, has not gone beyond concrete interest. According to the journalist specializing in transfers, Fabrizio Romano, sources from the Mancunian institution have denied all rumors that claim that the player had already reached a personal agreement with the entity. However, conversations between clubs would have taken place, although nothing is defined.

For this reason, Can Barça does not lose hope of achieving its new great goal for the winger. The player is very much liked by Deco, who is the main supporter of him in the entity, and the club would not take a bad view of him landing in Hansi Flick's squad, where his hierarchy, quality and overflow is well valued. Furthermore, Díaz is a self-confessed culé and has never hidden his desire to wear the Barça shirt at some point, so his dream could come true this summer, although the 'skyblues' present themselves as tough competition.
