Barça is already fully planning the squad for the season and wants a star forward. The club wants to excite fans again in the market with a high-profile signing that will increase the team's offensive potential.
In this regard, Luis Díaz is the favorite to strengthen the attack. The Colombian winger from Liverpool is highly regarded for his speed, his ability to unbalance defenses, and his experience in elite competitions.
His price and fair play, major complications
However, the Colombian's price puts the operation on hold. Liverpool doesn't plan to let him leave for less than €80 million (80 million euros), a very high figure for Barça's current possibilities. The limitations imposed by fair play continue to severely affect the club's ability to maneuver in the market.
Given this scenario, the only way to pursue the signing of a star like Luis Díaz would be through a major sale. Only a significant departure would allow the club to reduce the wage bill and generate enough income. The sporting management knows this, but for now, it doesn't seem that there's a plan regarding who could leave to make the signing possible.
There is a player with an uncertain future
However, Barça doesn't plan, in principle, to make a major sale this summer. The intention is to keep the core of the team and strengthen it. Nevertheless, there's a name that's starting to raise doubts in the club's offices, and that's Fermín.
Fermín doesn't have a guaranteed leading role with Hansi Flick. The coach isn't giving him many minutes, and that could push the player to consider leaving.
Although the club doesn't see him as a priority to sell, the possibility exists if a very tempting offer arrives. Fermín is a valuable asset and could be the key to unlocking the signing of a star like Luis Díaz.
He has two major offers from the Premier League
According to "El Nacional," Fermín has attracted the interest of two major Premier League clubs. The offers exceed €30 million (30 million euros), a significant figure for Barça's current finances.
Barça hasn't made a final decision yet, but the interest in Fermín keeps growing. His youth, potential, and ability to play in several midfield positions make him an attractive target for many teams.
