According to a report from Spanish outlet Hugo Cerezo, Luis Diaz is valued at €80 million, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. Barcelona need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and the Colombian international could be a useful acquisition.
Diaz is versatile enough to operate on either flank, and he will add goals and creativity to the side. The opportunity to join a club like Barcelona will be exciting for the player as well. He has been linked with a move to La Liga for a long time, and it remains to be seen what the player decides.
The reported €80 million asking price could be a problem for the newly crowned La Liga champions. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they might struggle to pay €80 million for the South American attacker.
Also, Liverpool are already lacking in depth in the attacking unit, and it would be quite surprising if they decided to sell Diaz in the summer. The Reds need to hold onto their best players in order to fight for major trophies next season.
This has been a successful campaign for Liverpool, and they will look to build on it. The Merseyside outfit will want to fight for the league title next year as well, and do well in the Champions League. Keeping the Colombian international at the club will be a priority for them. He has been an indispensable asset for Liverpool since joining the club.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have won the La Liga title this season, and they are one of the biggest clubs in the world. The opportunity to join them can be difficult to turn down for any player. It would not be a surprise if the South American has his head turned by the interest from the Blaugrana. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
