In an intriguing twist in the football transfer saga, Barcelona’s sporting director Deco is keen on luring Liverpool’s star winger Luis Diaz to La Liga. However, internal disagreements within the Catalan club could block this potentially game-changing move.

Luis Diaz, whose father has openly expressed a dream of playing for either Barcelona or Real Madrid, remains a focal point of speculation. The Colombian international has yet to agree on a new contract with Liverpool, raising eyebrows among top clubs.

Earning £55,000 a week at Anfield, Diaz finds himself underpaid compared to his high-profile teammates. Liverpool is keen to avoid letting him enter the final year of his contract, which could lead to a budget-friendly exit.

Recent reports indicate that Diaz is enticed by the prospect of swapping Liverpool for Barcelona, while Liverpool might eye Lyon's Malick Fofana as his potential replacement.

However, doubts are surfacing regarding Diaz’s transfer to Barcelona. El Nacional reports that the proposal is creating a divide among both the club's hierarchy and the squad.

Senior players have raised concerns to Deco, with some expressing doubts about the necessity of signing Diaz, given the impressive performances of current wingers Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

Moreover, the Barca board is hesitant about allocating funds for Diaz, especially with pressing needs in positions like striker and goalkeeper. Liverpool has reportedly set an eye-watering price of €85 million (£72 million / $96 million) for Diaz, complicating matters for Barcelona amid their ongoing financial woes.

Despite Deco's belief that Diaz could bolster the squad significantly, his possible lack of composure in crucial moments has raised red flags, alongside his hefty price tag. The 28-year-old dazzles with his dribbling but has been criticized for missing critical opportunities.

While Barcelona has also been observing Nico Williams, they have reportedly lost interest, possibly allowing rivals Real Madrid to swoop in instead.

In other news, Barcelona is rumored to be eyeing a significant transfer raid on Atletico Madrid for striker Julian Alvarez, which has ignited a strong reaction from Atleti's chief Enrique Cerezo. Meanwhile, Liverpool is believed to be making moves for Bayern Munich target Florian Wirtz.

The transfer landscape remains dynamic, and it remains to be seen whether Deco can navigate these stormy waters and bring Luis Diaz to Barcelona.
