Barcelona regards Dias as key signings, Reds ask for 85 million euros

Turning Net, May 23, According to the Daily Sports Daily, Barcelona Football Club has set its sights on Liverpool's Colombian star Louis Dias, viewing him as the team's major strategic recruitment target. However, this deal was doomed to be full of thorns from the beginning, and various forces were undercurrents, and a fierce transfer battle was ready to go.

In this complex transfer game, Barcelona sports director Deko is undoubtedly a key figure. He has reached a consensus with coach Frick and chairman Laporta and is ready for a long-term battle. They knew it was not easy to recruit Diaz, and the deal might take weeks or even months to finally settle.

Liverpool has marked a price of up to 85 million euros for Dias. The painful lessons of Arnold's free transfer to Real Madrid are still vivid in my mind, which makes the Reds' top leaders determined not to repeat the same mistakes on Dias's issue. Liverpool clearly informed Dias and his team that if no agreement on renewal is reached this summer, the team will not hesitate to listen to other clubs' offers. Currently, Liverpool has provided Dias with a new contract renewal to 2029, which has greatly increased Dias' annual salary, jumping from the originally low €3.5 million. However, compared with the salary levels of the team's core Salah and Van Dyke, Dias's new contract is still quite different.

In the face of Liverpool's contract renewal proposal, Dias and his team chose to put it aside for the time being and decided to postpone the negotiations until July. They are waiting for a key message - the financial situation of Club Barcelona. Only after Barcelona's financial situation is clear will Dias' team start formal and in-depth renewal negotiations with Liverpool Sports Director Richard Hughes.

Although Dias' current contract treatment at Liverpool is not satisfactory, he still maintains a good relationship with the team and has a strong sense of identity with the Liverpool club and the enthusiastic fan base. However, as a traditional football giant, Barcelona's olive branch is also very attractive to Dias. This striker, who is in his year of playing, naturally does not want to miss such an opportunity that may change his career trajectory.

Once Diaz's transfer to Barcelona finally comes into play, this will undoubtedly become the most important signing for Laporta during his second term in charge of Barcelona Club. This not only means that Barcelona's significant improvement in the forward strength, but also marks a gradual improvement in the club's financial situation, regaining strong competitiveness in the transfer market, adding a strong weight to the team's efforts to achieve higher honors in various competitions in the next season. In the next few months, how Barcelona and Liverpool will negotiate around Dias and what choices Dias himself will make will undoubtedly become the focus of attention of fans and media.
