Luis Diaz sets sights on Barcelona move as Liverpool prepare to part ways with Colombian star at Anfield

Luis Díaz could be set for a big summer move, and the destination he has his heart set on is none other than the Camp Nou.

The Colombian star, who has been one of Liverpool’s standout players over the past few seasons, is reportedly eager to take on a new challenge with Spanish giants Barcelona.

A Change of Scenery After Three and a Half Years at Anfield

After more than three years in Merseyside, Díaz seems ready to turn the page.

Reports in Spain suggest the winger has “made up his mind” and believes the timing is right to leave Liverpool.

Despite having a contract that runs until 2027, the club hasn’t offered him a new deal—possibly hinting that they’re open to letting him go.

Liverpool Set the Price, But Barcelona Aren’t Biting Yet

According to Spanish outlet SPORT, Liverpool have told Díaz he can leave—for the right price.

That figure? £51 million. But Barcelona, cash-strapped as ever, are reportedly not keen on paying that much.

Still, the Catalan side is confident they’ll get their man and has made Díaz their top priority in what’s been dubbed “Operation Luis Díaz.”

Hansi Flick and Deco Are On Board

Barça’s new manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco are both reportedly fully behind the move.

Díaz has long been on their radar—even before this season—and with Flick now looking to refresh the squad, this might be the perfect time to make the leap.

Diaz Has Impressed—And Not Just a Little

The Colombian has had an excellent season, helping Liverpool secure their second Premier League title.

He racked up 17 goals and eight assists across all competitions, proving his worth as one of Arne Slot’s most versatile attackers.

Whether deployed on the left or up front, Díaz delivered the goods.

South Americans and Barcelona—A Familiar Tale

If Díaz does end up at Barcelona, he’ll be following in the footsteps of several high-profile South Americans who made the switch from Anfield to the Camp Nou.

Luis Suárez, Philippe Coutinho, and Javier Mascherano all took that same path—and for better or worse, left their mark in Spain.

His Partner’s Instagram Post Sparked Even More Rumors

Adding fuel to the transfer fire, Díaz’s partner, Gera Ponce, recently posted what many saw as a farewell message on Instagram.

In a heartfelt caption, she praised Liverpool fans and their unwavering support, calling the experience “a real bond, deep and strong.” It certainly read like a goodbye.

Díaz Isn’t Ruling Anything Out

Díaz himself has kept things relatively neutral.

He recently said he’s happy at Liverpool and appreciates how the club has treated him.

But he also acknowledged that he’s in talks with other clubs, calling it normal during the transfer window.

“If Liverpool renews my contract, or if I stay the two years I have left, I’ll be happy,” he said. “It’s up to them.”

A Big Decision Ahead for Club and Player

Whether Liverpool decide to cash in or hold on to Díaz could depend on incoming players—like Florian Wirtz—and how the squad shapes up under Slot.

But with Barça pushing hard and Díaz reportedly ready to go, the next few weeks could be crucial.

One Thing’s Clear—The Summer Transfer Window Just Got More Interesting

Between the emotional messages, strong performances, and growing Barcelona interest, Luis Díaz’s future is definitely one to watch.

If he does move, it could be one of the standout deals of the summer.
