Barcelona are planning a fresh approach for Luis Díaz in the coming days and weeks, according to Fabrizio Romano, but Liverpool remain unwilling to entertain offers from the Catalan giants or Bayern Munich.
The Colombian winger has been a long-term target for Barça, especially after their failed pursuit of Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams. Díaz is seen as a direct alternative – one who fits the club’s tactical style and commercial ambitions.
Barcelona Turn to Díaz After Nico Williams Blow
The Blaugrana had prioritised Spain international Nico Williams this summer, but financial constraints and registration complications forced the deal off. Now, attention has turned decisively to Díaz.

Liverpool, however, are refusing to budge. The Reds have already rejected overtures from both Barcelona and Bayern Munich for the 27-year-old winger.
Díaz’s Numbers Prove His Worth
Despite fierce competition at Liverpool, Luis Díaz continues to impress with his direct style, explosive pace, and tireless pressing. He remains one of Arne Slot’s most consistent wide threats – and his 2024/25 season numbers underline that.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Games Played (All Competitions) | 49 |
| Goals | 17 |
| Assists | 8 |
| Goal Contributions per 90 | 0.60 |
| Key Passes per 90 | 1.9 |
Díaz’s influence in big games has made him indispensable for Liverpool — which explains their reluctance to even enter talks.
Rashford Also Keen on Camp Nou Move
Interestingly, Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that Marcus Rashford remains open to joining Barcelona should Manchester United approve a move. The England international endured a turbulent 2024/25 season at Old Trafford and is reportedly considering a fresh start.
While Barcelona’s priorities lie on the left wing, having both Rashford and Díaz linked suggests Deco and Laporta are building a shortlist for a marquee attacking signing.
Analyst Verdict
Díaz won’t come cheap – and Liverpool won’t sell easily. But Barcelona’s need for a direct winger and the collapse of the Nico Williams deal makes Díaz their most realistic elite option. Rashford may be interested, but Díaz is top of their list.
Key Insights
- Barcelona will re-approach Liverpool for Díaz after missing out on Nico
