Barcelona keeps exploring all available alternatives to strengthen its attack, and Luis Díaz's name remains on the priority list. Although Nico Williams is no longer an option, the club doesn't want to rule out the other alternatives that Deco has recently tracked. That's why the sporting management keeps conversations open with the Colombian's camp, who also has Hansi Flick's full approval.
The German coach considers it essential to bring in a natural left winger who is reliable, and Luis Díaz fits that profile. Díaz also brings international experience, immediate performance, and a competitive attitude that matches the demands of the project. That's why Barça keeps a close eye on his situation with Liverpool and is preparing the ground for a deal that could be activated at any moment.
Barça already has a formula
The sporting management already has a clear offer that could unlock the deal. According to club sources, Deco's plan is already on the table: an offer of €60 million ($60 million) guaranteed plus €10 million ($10 million) in add-ons that could convince Liverpool. Luis Díaz has given the green light to the blaugrana proposal and is willing to wait, knowing that his signing depends on several internal moves.
The Colombian prioritizes La Liga and sees Barça as the ideal opportunity to take a new step in his career. Meanwhile, the coaching staff have no doubts: Flick would be delighted to have him from the start of preseason and considers him key to his system. However, the deal requires patience.
Barça can't take on that expense right now without first freeing up salary space and generating income. Even so, the Colombian remains on the radar. The Catalan club believes Liverpool could give in over the coming weeks if it needs to balance its books after the big-money signing of Florian Wirtz.
Luis Díaz waits
Meanwhile, there is optimism in Camp Nou offices. If some major sales are completed, the financial margin will grow and the formal offer for Díaz can be made. In addition, a deferred payment formula or performance-based add-ons isn't ruled out, an option already being discussed with the player's representatives.
Luis Díaz keeps calm. He has offers from other leagues, but he has made it clear that his priority is to play for Barça. The winger believes his time at Anfield may be coming to an end and that Flick's project offers him the ideal environment to keep growing.
