‘There were conversations’ – Bayern Munich star breaks silence on Barcelona transfer links after Chelsea win | OneFootball

The attack was one of the areas of the team that FC Barcelona tried to strengthen the most in the last summer transfer window, and their emphasis on this area was quite visible as they brought in two new players, Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji, to bolster their forward line.

Meanwhile, they were linked with several other high-profile names as well, and among them was also the former Liverpool and current Bayern Munich winger Luis Diaz. The Colombian was reportedly one of the favorite candidates of Deco, but ultimately ended up in the Bavarian team last summer.

He has had a good start to life at his new club, and only last night, he helped his team get the better of the Premier League side Chelsea.

As Mundo Deportivo has reported, he also talked to the press after the game, and one of the topics he discussed was his links with Barcelona during the summer.

In this regard, the Colombian winger said:

“There were conversations, as there always are in the market, with several teams. Normally, that’s how the market works, but I was very calm in making that decision, and I decided very objectively about what was most important for my future. The important thing was that I arrived at a great club, in a great league, with a great group and a big family. I always try to give my best here, which will be important for the group and the team.”

Despite not being able to get him, the Blaugranes were able to land other targets like Rashford and Bardghji to improve their already fearsome attack.

Hopefully, both Luis Diaz and Barcelona will continue to excel in their own ways, even though they were unable to merge their ways.
