Spanish news outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sport.es\/es\/noticias\/barca\/caminos-llevan-barca-fichaje-luis-114402585\">Diario SPORT<\/a> has reported that Barca are looking to sign <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/2025\/02\/alexis-mac-allister-is-starting-again-4-2-3-1-liverpool-predicted-lineup-vs-aston-villa\/\">Liverpool<\/a> attacker Luis Diaz in the summer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Barcelona want to sign Luis Diaz from Liverpool<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Catalan club do not have a natural left winger, and Raphinha is playing in that position. Although he has been in stunning form this season, he is not an out-and-out left winger. Hence, Laporta and Co. are looking for such profiles in the transfer market, and Diaz is certainly that type.<\/p>\n<p>The Colombian has explosive pace, directness, and a relentless work ethic. Playing for Liverpool, he\u2019s become a fan favorite with his dazzling footwork and ability to score crucial goals. Diaz\u2019s high energy and pressing game align well with the intense style favoured by many top clubs. Barcelona\u2019s interest in him is driven by their need for a versatile, dynamic attacker who can operate on either wing or as a central forward. His flair, combined with his capacity to adapt to different tactical setups, makes him an ideal candidate for revitalizing Barcelona\u2019s frontline in their quest for La Liga dominance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_320166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-320166\"><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/everton-fc-v-liverpool-fc-premier-league-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Luis Diaz to Barcelona?\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/everton-fc-v-liverpool-fc-premier-league-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/everton-fc-v-liverpool-fc-premier-league-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/everton-fc-v-liverpool-fc-premier-league-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/everton-fc-v-liverpool-fc-premier-league-1-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/everton-fc-v-liverpool-fc-premier-league-1-1140x759.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/everton-fc-v-liverpool-fc-premier-league-1.jpg 1500w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-320166\">LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND \u2013 FEBRUARY 12: Luis Diaz of Liverpool during the Premier League match between Everton FC and Liverpool FC at Goodison Park on February 12, 2025 in Liverpool, England.

Overall, his goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.51. Moreover, Diaz\u2019s total G\/A (goals + assists) is 11 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.62 per 90 minutes. His non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.47.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona were linked to Rafael Leao as well but <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/2025\/02\/ac-milan-are-ready-to-offer-e60-million-for-this-liverpool-star-why-they-should-accept-it\/\">AC Milan<\/a> want \u20ac100 million to sell him. Hence, he will be an expensive option for the club. Diaz will cost a lot less than Leao and has a contract with the club till 2027. Diaz could prefer to play for Barcelona, given that they are one of the most iconic clubs in history and very few players can reject an offer from Barcelona. There have been no talks about a renewal for the Colombian. Deco is monitoring the condition for now, and it remains to be seen if Barcelona do make the move for Diaz in the summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" src=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-96x96.jpeg\" alt=\"Rohit Sarkar\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-96x96.jpeg 96w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-24x24.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-48x48.jpeg 48w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-75x75.jpeg 75w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4f604fb4-bc97-4f0e-99f7-ae0e2b8f1b46-350x350.jpeg 350w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 80px) 100vw, 80px\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3> <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/author\/rohit\/\"> Rohit Sarkar\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/h3>\n<p> Rohit Sarkar is a passionate journalist with a deep love for football and cricket.
