Barcelona Set to Outmaneuver PSG in Bid for Liverpool Star Despite Financial Challenges

Paris Saint-Germain have been linked to Liverpool standout Luis Díaz, but the Colombian is also on FC Barcelona’s radar. The 27-year-old’s contract runs out in 2027, but his name has been constantly in the rumor mill over the last few months, and it looks like the Catalan side want to make an aggressive push.

Díaz could be available, considering the former FC Porto star has been the subject of criticism. With manager Jürgen Klopp leaving this summer, changes are likely coming to Liverpool, and players will be on the way out.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Barça has a plan to try to sign the PSG-linked players because they have information that Díaz is up for the job. Additionally, the player’s father already said that his son’s dream was to play for Barcelona, and the Spanish team has been able to corroborate it.

The Blaugrana club is currently facing financial difficulties but aims to strengthen significantly in the upcoming summer transfer window. They’re eyeing a balanced salary approach, aiming for a 1:1 ratio in ‘fair play’. To make it happen, they’re seeking hefty investments and looking to strike lucrative deals, like with Nike and Barça Studios.

In a recent report, The Mirror revealed that Díaz has played down links with a move to PSG, saying “great years are coming” at Liverpool. This season, Díaz has made 49 appearances while scoring 13 goals and registering five assists for the Premier League side across all competitions.
