There has been a significant setback for a player who was hoping to push their dream move to Liverpool, which has caused Liverpool’s preparations for the summer transfer market to take a different course.
Reds supporters have already been fantasising about the forthcoming transfer window, since it is becoming more and more likely that Liverpool will win the Premier League championship in the 2024/25 season, which will be Arne Slot’s first season at the club.
The possible incoming players will, of course, be the primary focus of attention. Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle, and Milos Kerkez, a defender for Bournemouth, are just two of the names who have been connected with a transfer to Anfield.
There have been several stories that have said that Liverpool would see a number of significant exits over the summer season; however, one of the prominent players who has been connected with a transfer away has now been given a significant setback.
Fans of Liverpool may anticipate a significant reorganisation of their offensive lineup when the transfer market reopens in June. Players like as Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz have all been connected with leaving the club in order to make room for possible offers to acquire Isak or other strikers.
After sources stated that Diaz would be prepared to force a move to dream club Barcelona if they were to submit a proposal for him, it looked that Diaz was the most likely to leave Liverpool out of the three attackers who were on the roster.
However, however, Diaz’s prospects of joining the La Liga giants have been severely dashed as a result of a story that was published in the Catalan daily El Nacional and was subsequently reported by Marca. The report stated that Barcelona saw Diaz’s age as a potential barrier to a move.
According to the source, the manager of Barcelona, Hansi Flick, has established a clear transfer policy at the club, which will allow them to emphasise the formation of a youthful and revitalised team.
Unfortunately for Diaz, the German manager does not feel that the winger, who is 28 years old, meets this condition. As a result, he would like to give priority to transfers for younger players such as Nico Williams of Athletic Club or Ademola Lookman of Atalanta.
It is reported that Liverpool has set an asking price of about €75 million (£62.6 million), which is a cost that is considered to be excessive for a player who has been deemed to be non-essential. This makes the situation even more difficult for the Colombian midfielder.
