Barcelona’s interest in Colombian winger Luis Díaz is growing, but according to a report from SPORT, his future at Liverpool could be directly tied to Mohamed Salah’s exit.

Reports from Colombia suggest that Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, has already approved Díaz’s sale as the club looks to secure a significant transfer fee to reinvest in the squad.

Liverpool Ready to Sell – But at What Price?

Barcelona has been monitoring Díaz closely, but the biggest obstacle remains financial. While it seems certain that Liverpool is willing to part ways with the winger, the asking price could be a major hurdle for the financially strained Catalan club.

Additionally, Díaz’s departure depends on Salah’s future. The Egyptian star is expected to leave Anfield as a free agent at the end of the season, and ironically, Barcelona has also been linked with signing him. If Barça moves for Salah, it could shut the door on Díaz’s arrival.

Can Barcelona Pull Off the Transfer?

Despite financial difficulties, Barcelona remains eager to strengthen its attacking options under new coach Hansi Flick. Díaz’s pace, dribbling skills, and versatility would make him a valuable addition to the squad.

However, securing the deal will not be easy. Liverpool’s valuation is high, and competition from other European clubs could complicate matters further.

With the summer transfer window approaching, Barcelona must resolve its financial issues before making any major signings. Will Díaz be their top target? Or will the club opt for Salah or another attacking option? The coming months will be decisive.
