The 27-year-old winger is back on the radar of the Barcelona after the snub made by the Spaniard Nico Williams, who decided to stay one more season in the Athletic Bilbaothat is where the Lucho option is reactivated.

He started the preseason very well with a double and his goal is to gain the trust of his new DT Arne Slot, But with an offer from the Catalan team he could think about it, because from a very young age he always recognized that he is a fan of the Barcelona.

Luis Diaz This is the front page of several English media outlets that are talking about his future, which could take a 180 degree turn, as alarm bells could ring about a possible departure in the face of an official offer from Barcelona, ​​which has not arrived.

The Sun goes along another line and points out that in the Liverpool are reportedly considering an exchange with Barcelona for one of their stars. The Reds have been unable to close the signing of Martín Zubimendi, which is why they are thinking about ‘plan B’ for the midfield.

“Liverpool could reach an agreement with a current Man Utd target to solve their midfield problems. Arne Slot’s side want a new midfielder after being rejected by Martin Zubimendi,” says the paper.

“Barcelona are considering the possibility of signing Liverpool star Luis Diaz, reports suggest. But with both clubs facing financial fair play (FFP) challenges, A surprise swap deal could also be on the cards,” he adds.

Franckie De Jong is the name that is being considered The Sun. The Merseyside side could give Lucho Díaz an exit in an exchange with the Dutch midfielder, who has lost some of his prominence in the club and it is not known what his role will be under the German coach.

De Jong is believed to currently earn a staggering £400,000 a week,” says the British newspaper.

There are still three weeks left in the European transfer market, where anything can happen. It seems a long way off that Barcelona will pay the more than 75 million euros that Liverpool are asking for. Luis DiazAn exchange would be the solution to avoid affecting the accounts, but it is not clear if the Catalans are willing to lose one of their stars.
