Barcelona not giving up on Luis Diaz, sporting director 'really likes him' (reliability: 4 stars)

Liverpool are not favouring a sale of Luis Diaz, but the links between the winger and Barcelona persist.

This time, Diario AS reports that the 27-year-old is a personal target of Barcelona sporting director Deco.

The former Porto midfielder has followed Diaz since he played for the same club and 'really likes him'.

As a result, Diaz is a preferred target for Barcelona ahead of Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. Moreover, the Catalans are prepared to sell Raphinha to finance a move for Lucho.

Liverpool are in a strong position whether they want to keep Diaz or cash in on him. The winger is contracted to the club through 2027, meaning that the Reds are under no pressure to make a rushed decision on his future.
