💰 Diaz price tag too steep, will Barca and Liverpool strike a deal? | OneFootball

FC Barcelona would like to strengthen their squad this summer with Liverpool's offensive player Luis Diaz.

As reported by the blog ‘liverpool.com‘ and ‘semprebarca‘, the negotiations between the clubs are likely to drag on - and without a guarantee of success. The reason: Barcelona apparently is not willing to put more than around 69 million euros on the table for the Brazilian national player.

Liverpool, on the other hand, is not willing to sell Diaz for less than 80 million euros, as reported by ‘Barca Blaugranes‘. The 28-year-old still has a contract with Liverpool until 2027.

Barca coach Hansi Flick recently praised Diaz publicly, calling him a "fantastic" player, while Arne Slot reportedly no longer plans to firmly include the winger in the starting lineup, according to a report by ‘Sport Bild‘.

Barcelona's interest seems to be undeniable, but it remains questionable whether the two clubs can reconcile their differing price expectations.
