Luis Diaz joined Liverpool from Porto to bolster the attacking trident of Firmino, Salah and Sadio Mané. The Colombian managed to grab an egg in a forward line where it was very difficult to play a leading role, but the South American has had a big impact since his arrival. Now that Mané has left for Bayern Munich, the Colombian is the undisputed starter on the wing, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists so far this season.

Jurgen Klopp's side are delighted with Luis Diaz, but the Colombian has given an interview to SoHo in which he hinted at a possible move to Spain. "I would like to play for a Spanish club that has always attracted the attention of my family, but it's more of a childish dream. Now I only think about lifting trophies and making history with Liverpool, which is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I am very grateful for the opportunity they have given me".

Being objective, although the South American player has not said which Spanish team it is, everything points to FC Barcelona, of which he declared himself a fan when he played for Junior de Barranquilla. Thus, Barça, with some doubts at the top, has a new option of great quality, and the talented Colombian striker would be delighted to wear the Culé shirt. Curiously, he has been one of the most important signings that the Blaugrana have let slip through their fingers.

FC Barcelona have been looking for strikers for many seasons now to improve their forward line and one of the players they tried to sign with most insistence was Luis Diaz, when he was still a Porto player. The Catalan side insisted and insisted on many occasions, but in the end the talented Colombian winger ended up accepting the big contract that Liverpool put on the table.

Liverpool took Luis Diaz from Barcelona

According to the Catalan president himself, Joan Laporta, in an interview with Marca newspaper, the Colombian winger was of great interest to the Camp Nou when he was still exploding at Porto and they made moves to attract him to the Camp Nou, unfortunately Liverpool beat them to the deal in the winter transfer window this year, paying 47 million euros to the Portuguese side for their emerging star. Logically, FC Barcelona could not reach these figures for a player who had hardly shown much more, but seeing his performance at Liverpool, they made a big mistake in not betting more heavily on this impressive player.
