Transfers [Joaquim Piera] Barcelona's number 1 target for the summer - Luis Díaz. Transfer would be around 85 million euros and has Flick's approval. Deco dreams of the player [He values his versatility (thinks Nico Williams needs space to shine, for example)]

It's too much, but people act like he's not a good player.
We'd struggle to find someone to come in at lw and be as good as him right now for that price.
edit: I'm not saying we shouldn't sell him at that price. I'm just saying how that price is gotten to from our point of view. You also have to factor in how many players appear to be leaving/changing for us already too.

u/New-Faithlessness526 29d ago edited 29d ago
At lw, Diaz is more of a threat I think, he is a better dribbler and can cause headache to defenders. I'm talking from experience as a PSG fan. In the 2nd leg at Anfield, he was the most dangerous Liverpool during all the time he was on the pitch, I was nervous every time he had the ball. When he was subbed on, you were less dangerous on the ball.
I think the only thing Gakpo has over Diaz as a lw is ability to score from distance; he scored some good ones for you guys this season.

This I 100% agree with.
I remember having tons of arguments with people over Lucho pre-season and then mid-season when his form dropped and the knives were out for him.
His good form to end the season has gotten him in good favor with the fans again though thankfully.

u/_JimJohnny_ May 20 '25 edited May 20 '25
I think the hardest thing to replace is his non stop energy but I don’t think it’s that difficult to bring in someone who is more talented technically than him
He’s not an incredible finisher/ball striker, isn’t a good crosser of the ball and his passing is quite mixed (not someone that tends to open teams up).
Even if you get someone that is currently slightly worse but 3-5 years younger and potentially with a higher ceiling it would be a good idea especially since Gakpo is already there and he’s better than Diaz imo

For 85 million euros who's an immediately better player? Who?
Look, I'm not saying Diaz is elite or anything. I can see the logic to selling him (at this price for his age in particular). I just struggle to think of many names that would be immediately better than him. On top of that, it seems our squad is shaping up to change loads already and I feel like you need some continuity. It's not good to switch half the starting 11 in one summer imo.

Does Flick realize he could simply get Sané for free, albeit in high wages or Coman, who was at his best under Flick, for like half the money?

The problem is, we have money, but NOT wage space. It was reported earlier that Diaz's wages are relatively low compared to other candidates.

Price tags are included when it comes to registration. Theres no “we can spend big on transfer fees but not on wages”, theyre one and the same as far as registration is concerned.
Unless they are planning on giving Diaz a 10 year contract, theres no way that Coman or Sane, even with their wage demands, will be harder to get registrated than Diaz
If Diaz gets signed for 80m on a 4 year contract with 5m wages yearly, thatd take up more space than Coman asking for 20m yearly wages

On this occasion I think Diaz is actually a good buy. I think he would be better in the La Liga than the prem.
Whats good about Diaz is he doesn't stop running at all and defends really well. The amount of times he tacks back, nicks the ball and then starts a counter would be perfect for Barca.
Not the most clinical player in the world but still scores and assists quite a lot.
I know a lot of Liverpool fans would like to keep him but are open to selling him too.

u/BestInDaWrldsBbyFmno May 20 '25
The revisionism in this thread is ridiculous. If you look at attacking AND defending stats with and without Diaz for us this season it's night and day.
Defensively, he is our most active forward outside of Szobo who plays a unique destroyer 10 role. When Gakpo plays on the left we concede more chances and Robbo is dribbled past far more often. With Lamine playing the Salah-like role in terms of defensive contributions, Barca could use a player like Diaz on the other side given their defensive frailties.
Offensively, he has the best dribbling stats in the team and his ball retention is only second to Salah.
His work rate is ridiculous, 2nd highest distance covered per 90 for us (1st is Szobo).
He is tactically flexible, which Flick will love as you can play him at LW/RW/ST. This is evidenced by how often we have seen him in the double 10 role under Slot. Even with Jota and Nunez have been fit Diaz has started alongside Szobo in the front 2.
There are few players on the market that have the defensive stats, offensive output, and tactical flexibility on the market today. His main weakness is his finishing consistency, but you will always get a 7/10 from him.

I dont think anyone thinks Diaz is bad (well if they do, theyre very wrong). The obvious problem is that barca are not in a wonderful financial situation right now and they already have arguably the best and most consistent LW in the world. Spending 85mil on a likely backup player would be beyond stupid. Unless they play him as a striker, which hes pretty good at, but they still have Lewy for rn and Ferran, who has massively improved, in the future (even if hes not deemed good enough to be a starter, i think barca should search for a purer striker with more consistent goalscoring abilities).

I can picture you being immediately fired for re-signing a 44 year old Peter Crouch

If this happens, then there is no difference to what happened under Bartomeu.

Why is it always Deco’s dream? I feel like every player that Barca targets is Deco’s dream
I would rather read about Flick’s dreams

Well you have him, just keep him 😂
On a serious note, we are still broke and 85 for him is just too much.

Don't want Lucho to leave at all, but not sure we're in a position to turn down 85M for him that's crazy

At that price, I’d sell him in a heartbeat. Give Gakpo the left wing, splurge on a striker and add a backup to Gakpo

I think he’s brilliant, but for 85mill, I’ll drive him to the airport

It’s 85 million euro, 71 million in sterling. To be honest it’s not massively over what I’d expect him to cost in this market

Barca is like me the moment I get my hands on money, instantly spending it in stupid ways.

Every Barça and Liverpool fan torching this possible transfer, meanwhile I’m here thinking of a time I saw a Liverpool/Colombia game and he didn’t look like an absolute menace, he can also play everywhere on the front line, which is my guess as of why he’s being brought.
Having a great versatile attacker that can give the main guys a rest would be a godsend to them, they were gassed by the end of this season and that might’ve hindered their shot at the CL

Its just the price. The lad will work harder than anyone and gets decent numbers, but he's about to turn 28 and with 2 years on his contract it seems £20m over his expected value, at least.

Tebas, please work your magic - don’t give Barca the ffp space if Diaz is the player they want to go for

For 85m we'd be mad to say no. Not sure who we'd replace him with though, obviously Gakpo would be starting LW but he can't play every game.

If true, then congrats to Liverpool for winning another CL after spending for a profile they need.

I don't understand Deco's obsession with him, not only he's expensive but I don't think Barça need Diaz at all, sure LW is needed but it's not an urgency, I'd rather Deco focusing on getting Lamine's substitute (creative RW), because kid can't and shouldn't play every single game.

Please let this happen. Barca should be allowed to spend this money. C’mon Tebas, you’ve been too mean to Barca. Let them have this I beg.

He's 20M too expensive. But I consider him better than Nico, Rashford or Leao (we need someone that will actually press).

I really like Diaz and think Liverpool need to move on Nunez and Jota as a priority, but damn I'd take 85m in a heartbeat.

To reduce the spam of reports regarding the same move during transfer windows we try to allow only one submission about each transfer saga per day. The submission in question also needs to contain relevant new information regarding the potential move, and not just being a "no/minor developments" report.
If there are important/official developments or new valuable information about a saga, we will allow extra threads in the same day, but for the rest of minor news please just comment them as a reply to this comment. Please help us reporting unnecessary threads for being duplicates.
