Although Liverpool have just been crowned Premier League champions with a commanding lead, Anfield is preparing for a busy summer. The English club is already planning a deep restructuring ahead of next season.
Despite the success, Liverpool are determined to invest heavily in the transfer market. Slot wants signings and has requested several reinforcements. Therefore, several high-profile additions are expected, as well as some significant departures that could define the summer in Europe.
Salah and Van Dijk stay, others arrive
Among the decisions already made by the club, the contract renewals of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk stand out. Both stars have extended their contracts and will continue to lead Slot's project. Their continuity guarantees stability and experience in the locker room, something essential to face a new era.
In addition, Liverpool are very close to finalizing two stellar signings: Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, both from Bayer Leverkusen. These arrivals are intended to further raise the team's level and give Slot more options.
Luis Díaz looks set to leave, wants to go to Barça
With all these moves, one of the main casualties appears to be Luis Díaz. The Colombian winger, who has been important in recent campaigns, could see his playing time reduced with Wirtz's arrival. Faced with this scenario, the player would be seriously considering leaving the club this summer.
The most striking thing is that, according to reports, Luis Díaz is only considering one destination: FC Barcelona. The Colombian would have rejected other interests in Europe because his desire is to wear the blaugrana jersey. His playing style, based on dribbling, explosiveness, and one-on-one ability, fits perfectly with what Barça are looking for.
Barça dream of signing him as a priority
For Barça, Luis Díaz is currently the top priority in the market. With the urgent need to add a left winger, the Colombian's name leads the list of preferences for Deco and Hansi Flick. Both agree that Luis Díaz would bring imbalance, goals, and experience to a forward line that needs depth and new options.
What remains to be defined is the price of the deal. Liverpool are not willing to give away one of their stars, but Barça trust the transfer can be closed for around €70 million. Talks are still at an early stage, but everything indicates that Luis Díaz and Barça are destined to meet this summer.
