Barcelona are reportedly targeting Liverpool star Luis Diaz for a potential transfer move. With both clubs facing Financial Fair Play (FFP) challenges, a swap deal could be on the table.

Diaz, a lifelong Barcelona fan, has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp, with Liverpool initially setting a £64 million price tag, later lowering it to £51 million. Spanish reporter Pipe Sierra suggests that Barcelona has reopened talks to sign the 27-year-old Colombian winger, whose release clause is said to be £50 million. The funds for this transfer might be redirected from their pursuit of Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.

However, the deal could involve a player swap to avoid FFP issues, though the Barcelona players involved remain uncertain. Diaz, who joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022, has scored 24 goals and provided 13 assists in 98 appearances for the Reds. Liverpool begins their Premier League season with an away match against Ipswich.
