Barcelona, Spain – in an unexpected turn in the signing market, Colombian striker Luis Díaz has sent an emotional farewell message to Liverpool fans, while preparing for a transfer to FC Barcelona for a figure close to 80 million euros. According to recent reports, the Catalan club has identified the 28 -year -old as its main objective to strengthen the attack on the next season.
Díaz, who has been a key piece in the successful Liverpool campaign in the Premier League, has left an indelible mark on Anfield since his arrival in 2022. With 17 goals and multiple assists in the current season, his versatility and dynamism in the field have made him a favorite of the fans. However, the temptation to join Barcelona, a club that he himself has confessed to admire as a child, seems to have been decisive.
In his message to the followers of the Reds, Díaz expressed his gratitude: “Liverpool will always have a special place in my heart. The fans, the club and the city welcomed me as at home. It has been an honor to dress this shirt and share unforgettable moments with you.” Although he did not officially confirm his departure, his words suggest that negotiations with Barcelona are advanced.
The sports director of Barcelona, Deco, has prioritized the incorporation of Díaz for its maturity and ability to adapt to different roles in the attack, complementing players such as Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Despite the club’s financial difficulties, reports indicate that Barcelona is willing to invest a significant sum to ensure Colombian services, even exceeding the interest of Saudi clubs that offered higher figures.
For its part, Liverpool is already looking for replacements, with the young talent of Lyon, Malick Fofana, as one of the names on the list. Meanwhile, Barcelona fans celebrate the possible arrival of Díaz, who could debut in the League in the 2025-26 season, marking a new chapter in their career.
