Forward will do EVERYTHING to push through €60m deal | OneFootball

Barcelona are moving for Nico Williams in a deal which has big ramifications for Luis Diaz. The Spanish winger, 22, is joining from Athletic Bilbao - with Barca now ready to trigger his release clause of around €60m.

That means they are very unlikely to pursue a deal for Diaz despite sporting director Deco considering Diaz his team’s dream target.

Ultimately, it appears Liverpool do not want to get into discussions with the Catalans over Diaz. The Reds are not pushing Diaz towards the exit - but according to previous reports the club would consider an offer of around €80m for the Colombian.

Diaz scored 13 goals in the Premier League last season and was often deployed as a No9. But he is out of contract in 2027 and there has been no breakthrough over a new deal.

As such the club are happy to consider a sale.

Barca would only pay €60m for Diaz

Barca, however, haven’t got near that valuation - and seem only capable of putting €60m on the table. And new reports suggest Diaz is taking matters into his own hands in order to push through a transfer to Camp Nou.

Sensing the Barca deal slipping through his fingers as the Spanish champions turn to Nico, Diaz has made it known that he is willing to do whatever it takes to get the move.

That’s according to a new report in Spain, which states Diaz wants Liverpool to accept a €60m sum for him - paid in instalments.
