Barcelona Reactivate Talks for Liverpool Star Luis Diaz with Potential Swap Deal on the Cards
Liverpool fans could be in for another disappointment this transfer window as Barcelona have reportedly reopened talks for a major player. The Spanish giants have been linked with a move for Reds winger Luis Diaz, and according to Spanish outlet Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra, they are prepared to offer a player swap as part of a deal.
Diaz has been a key player for Liverpool since his arrival in 2022, making 51 appearances and scoring 13 goals. He impressed during the 2024 Copa America, helping Colombia reach the final, and has been in fine form during the Reds’ preseason campaign.
However, it appears that Barcelona are willing to test Liverpool’s resolve with a player swap deal. The La Liga side are said to be interested in acquiring Diaz, and are prepared to offer a player in exchange for the Colombian international.
This news comes as a blow to Liverpool fans, who were hoping to see their team make some significant signings during the transfer window. The Reds have been quiet so far, with the only major signing being the arrival of Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen.
But could this be the start of a busy few weeks for Liverpool? The Reds are said to be interested in signing Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon, and a player swap deal for Diaz could be the key to making that happen.
Gordon has been a bright spark for the Magpies this season, and his pace and creativity would be a welcome addition to Liverpool’s attack. However, Newcastle are said to be holding out for a fee of around £50m for the winger, which could be a sticking point in any potential deal.
Despite this, Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on developments over the coming days. Will the Reds be able to secure a deal for Gordon, or will they have to look elsewhere for a solution to their attacking woes?
