Overview

• Barcelona has made Luis Díaz their primary left-wing target and has opened informal negotiations with Liverpool over a potential summer transfer.
• Liverpool has not officially put Díaz on the market but has indicated openness to negotiate if Barcelona meets its valuation, with two years remaining on his contract.
• Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich continues to monitor Díaz as a potential Leroy Sané replacement, adding pressure to Barcelona’s pursuit.
• Sporting director Deco considers Díaz as Barcelona’s Plan A and is simultaneously evaluating Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford and AC Milan’s Rafael Leão as cost-effective backups.
• Reports suggest Rashford is willing to accept a wage reduction for a move to Camp Nou, and Barcelona has reopened discussions with Milan over Leão’s release clause.
