Transfer talks between Liverpool and Barcelona broke down over sky-high fees, with Chelsea’s top target preferring to wait for Manchester City, while Manchester United have been told to splurge if they want to sign Serie A’s biggest star.
Barcelona chalks Liverpool up to exorbitant price in Luis Diaz deal
Luis Diaz has seen his chances of a surprise move from Liverpool to Barcelona plummet significantly. This comes after Liverpool demanded an astronomical transfer fee from Barcelona for the Colombian winger.
According to reports from Diaz’s native Colombia, the dream of both Diaz and his father Luis Manuel is to one day move to a Spanish powerhouse, with the current La Liga champions attracting great interest from South Americans.
Reports earlier this month suggested that United would not stand in the way of Barcelona’s move to sign Diaz in a bid to try and facilitate a transfer. But any miracle must be done on their terms and only under conditions that will enable them to suppress their strong interest in miracles. Mo Salado too. To this end, the Egyptian continues to attract attention from Al Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League.
However, talks between Barca and Liverpool have now put these transfer hopes at risk, amid further claims that FSG are actually willing to sell Diaz and use the funds to sign Napoli’s Georgian winger Kvica Kvaratskelia. It is claimed that it has completely collapsed.
And that’s all Liverpool value about the 27-year-old star.

The story was picked up by Colombian newspaper El Heraldo and claimed Barca president Juan Laporta dined with Diaz’s agent Carlos Vanstrahallen in Catalonia last week.
But the expected summit did not have a happy ending for Laporta. Laporta is said to be shocked by van-Strahallen’s revelations about how much money Liverpool want for the 45-cabin Colombia international.
According to reports, Liverpool are willing to sell a fee of €120m to €140m (£102m to £120m) to sell the number 7 shirt, who has scored 22 goals in 85 appearances for the Merseysiders since his £37.5m move from Porto in January. has been set. 2022.
And Laporta is said to have responded to a newspaper question about Liverpool’s valuation by saying it was “not reasonable”.
As a result, Barcelona are unlikely to pursue this deal, but will continue to monitor his situation in case anything changes and his Liverpool contract is not due to expire until the summer of 2027.
