From Anfield to Camp Nou: Can Louis Diaz realize his transfer dream?

Look, in this transfer market, the test between wealthy families is very interesting. Barcelona went to Liverpool to ask about Louis Diaz this time, which is a very typical example. It not only says that I really want to buy you as a player, but there are many elements that can survey each other and show their posture.

Let's talk about Barcelona first. Look at the new coach Frick. When he was at Bayern, what did he value most? It is the speed and impact force of the two sides. He needs the winger to be able to keep one-on-one, and be able to use speed and breakthrough to tear the opponent's defense. There are many players in Barcelona's frontcourt now, but what they lack is a point like Diaz who can continue to explode and rush forward unreasonably. So the reason why Frick and sports director Deco like him is very simple. His style can make up for the shortcomings that Barcelona lacks most now.

But Liverpool is definitely not stupid. They themselves also know that there are not many players in the team who play football purely by speed and explosiveness. In the current environment where the Premier League is increasingly focusing on physical confrontation and offense and defense conversion speed, you have sold such an important explosive point. Where can you find a suitable replacement? And it is sold to potential European rivals like Barcelona. So you see that Liverpool has a very firm attitude and tell Barcelona directly that he should not think about it. He is not a seller and is a very important member of our new coach Slot's plan for next season.

And in this market, what price is a top winger? Look at last year, Saudi Arabia often offered an attacking player a price of nearly 100 million yuan. This market has raised the value of good players. Even if Liverpool really has the idea to sell, that price is definitely something that Barcelona is unbearable for the current financial situation. So Liverpool's tough response is not only a tactical need, but also a commercial attitude, which is to tell everyone that we are not short of money and core players will not sell them.

So, Barcelona's price question this time may be more about showing an attitude, and also for the players to show it, telling Diaz that we are very interested in you. But judging from the feedback Liverpool has received, the possibility of this transfer happening this summer is very small. For Diaज़ himself, the club needs him so clearly, which is also a kind of affirmation for him. In the next season, what will he play under new coach Slott and whether he can continue to play at a high level is the most important thing. The transfer is still growing in summer, and anything can happen, but at least now, the first chapter of this story has been written.
