28-year-old Premier League star already taking actions to force his move to Barcelona – Report | OneFootball

The attack is one of the areas of the team that FC Barcelona are looking to strengthen in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Blaugranes are looking for a left winger, whose arrival would make their wings even more unbalancing for opposition defences, and would also allow Raphinha to play more centrally next season.

In this regard, some recent reports have indicated that the Liverpool forward Luis Diaz is the favorite candidate of both Deco and Hansi Flick, above other interesting options like Marcus Rashford and Nico Williams.

Meanwhile, the Colombian winger is also keen to play for the Catalan side, and according to Mundo Deportivo, he has already started taking action that can force his exit from the Premier League side.

In this regard, one of the things he has done is to block any type of conversation about his renewal with the Merseyside club.

With only two years left on his contract, this is the best time for Liverpool to tie down the forward with a new contract. However, the Colombian not only seems not too keen to renew, but his agent has also already let the Reds know that his client wants to join Barcelona this summer.

Similarly, the player has also ignored a big offer from the Saudi side, Al-Nassr, for now, as his priority is to play for the Blaugranes next season.

Several factors attract him to Barcelona

In addition to him being a Barcelona fan since childhood, there are other factors like Deco’s confidence, the Blaugrana winning project, and sharing a dressing room with stars like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski that attract the Colombian towards the Catalan club.

He understands that there will be significant competition for a starting role, but he can play both on the wing and as a number 9, depending on the team’s needs. Thus, with both sides willing to do their work to join forces, it would not really be a surprise to see Luis Diaz playing for Barcelona next season.
