‘Liverpool sweating over Luis Diaz transfer’ after fresh Barcelona twist
Liverpool will be hoping to fend off interest from Barcelona once again, as Luis Diaz may be on the agenda at the Spotify Camp Now.
The La Liga outfit wanted the Colombia international, but the Reds have rejected an official approach from them to start negotiations.
With Darwin Nunez likely leaving Anfield in the coming weeks, it looks like Arne Slot doesn’t want to lose too many of his attackers in one window.
Rumours surrounding Diaz’s potential move to Barcelona haven’t been as persistent recently, but that may change soon.
Barcelona may turn attention to Diaz at Liverpool as Nico Williams transfer stalls
Barcelona’s move for Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams has stalled, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The news outlet reports (30 June) that the 22-year-old is demanding guarantees regarding registration, which hasn’t pleased the Blaugrana.
It’s been claimed that the Spain international doesn’t want to face the same difficulties that Dani Olmo and Pau Victor went through last season.

If the young attackers move to the Spotify Camp Nou, Liverpool may be sweating over the prospect of the La Liga giants making another approach for Diaz.
Liverpool will hope Barcelona complete Williams transfer
Diogo Jota’s future at Liverpool is uncertain this summer, and the prospect of losing two centre-forwards will be concerning for fans.
Federico Chiesa is also looking to end his stint at Anfield after one season, as he has struggled for regular game time.
While the Italy international didn’t play a pivotal role in the Reds’ recent success, he was an option for Slot on the bench.
With several attacking departures on the cards at Liverpool, it would make sense to keep the likes of Diaz, who has regularly performed.
While the 28-year-old put in some inconsistent displays last season, he was still essential to the Dutch manager’s plans at Anfield.
The Reds will hope to build on their Premier League victory and win the Champions League in the upcoming campaign, but that will require a strong squad.
With Barcelona in pursuit of Williams, the Reds will hope the La Liga giants get the Spanish national and discard Diaz as an option.
