Luis Diaz remains determined to join Barcelona this summer and believes Florian Wirtz’s arrival at Liverpool will trigger his Anfield exit.
The Colombia international, who joined the Reds from Porto for £37million in January 2022, played a key role in Liverpool’s Premier League title triumph last season.
Diaz has two years left on his contract on Merseyside with the club recently ruling out the prospect of him leaving.
The report claims Diaz does ‘not feel appreciated’ by his club and feels this is his last chance to seal a dream move to the team he has supported since he was a child, halting any contract negotiations back in Liverpool.

While Arne Slot’s side are desperate to keep him, Diaz feels the imminent arrival of Wirtz will facilitate his departure.

Earlier this month, Diaz said he is ‘very happy’ at Liverpool but refused to commit his long-term future to the club.
‘I’m very happy there at Liverpool, I’ve always said so,’ Diaz replied. ‘They’ve welcomed me very well.
‘We’re in contact with them [Liverpool] right now because we’re obviously talking to clubs. It’s normal.

‘The transfer market is opening, and we’re trying to arrange what’s best for us.’
When asked about renewing his contract with Liverpool, Diaz replied: ‘As I told you, I’m waiting for it to happen.
‘If Liverpool gives us a good renewal or I get the two years I need with them, I’ll be happy and content.
‘It all depends on them, I’m just here to decide and look at what’s best for us.’
