Barcelona is apparently interested in acquiring Luis Diaz, a great player for Liverpool.

But given that both teams are having issues with financial fair play (FFP), a stunning trade could be in the works.

Barça and Liverpool are resuming negotiations to sign 27-year-old Luis Diaz. As a devoted Barcelona fan, Diaz has been linked to a move to the Nou Camp and may soon realise his ambition.

It follows news that the Reds, who had previously placed a £64 million price tag on the Colombian, may lower their demand to £51 million.

Spanish author Pipe Sierra claims that Barcelona and Liverpool have resumed negotiations regarding the winger’s signing. It is believed that the player has a £50 million release clause.

He says that in order to close the transaction, they will use transfer money that was initially intended for Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao.

He does, however, add that in order to avoid FFP issues, the two teams might work out a trade.

It’s unknown from Barcelona’s point of view which players could be involved.

The team as a whole, excluding the so-called untouchables (Pau Cubarsi, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen), was reportedly up for sale in June, according to reports.

After Arne Slot’s team rejected Martin Zubimendi, they are searching for a new midfield player.

This might lead to them pursuing long-term Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong, however his exorbitant salary may pose an issue for the Anfield club, which has previously been unwilling to violate its wage structure.

De Jong is reportedly earning a stunning £400,000 per week right now.

In January 2022, Diaz left Porto to sign for Liverpool for a reported £37 million, with the possibility of a further £49 million.

In 98 games across all competitions for Liverpool, he has 24 goals and 13 assists.

Liverpool’s Premier League campaign gets underway early on Saturday when they go to Ipswich on the road.
