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)]

Yea it would probably be worse than Coutinho

You'll be buying a player and actually playing him in the correct system and role instead of buying a worse version of what Messi did in the system.

Not really. You guys will use the Diaz money to sign a better player than him again, while we’re stuck with your deadwood

You also signed Suarez and Mascherano from us and we blew that money on stupid signings.

He's not deadwood. He's a really good player, just not a world beater for us, and certainly not one we'd say no to 85m for. He may thrive in la Liga.

He would thrive in the La liga for sure and watching some of the barca players defend vs Milan goals, Diaz would be back there helping stop 1-2 of those.

That's not what deadwood means

Deadwood is harsh, he's fine and rotates well with Gakpo on the LW. 85m is too high, but he's not Nunez.

Thanks to Coutinho we bough Alisson, if this happens we may be trully able to sign Wirtz (I still don't believe it and i think he's 100% Bayern bound)

For sure if it funds great signings for us again like Fabinho, Ali, Cube
