Barcelona’s need to refresh their attack may raise some eyebrows—after all, they had one of Europe’s most dangerous forward lines last season.

But the board at Camp Nou is not resting on reputation.

The plan this summer is to go after a natural left winger, someone who can stretch the pitch, break defensive lines, and deliver consistent final-third output.

Several names have come up.

Marcus Rashford from Manchester United is one.

Nico Williams of Athletic Club is another.

But the player who has jumped to the top of Barça’s wish list is Liverpool star Luis Diaz.

Diaz, a Copa América regular with Colombia, fits the profile: pace, technical sharpness, and an eye for goal.

But targeting a player of that caliber means entering a tough negotiating table—especially with a club like Liverpool, who rarely sell cheaply and are under no pressure to do so.

So, the question now is: how far is Barcelona willing to go?

According to SPORT, Barcelona have quietly made a decision behind closed doors.

They rate Diaz highly—but not at Liverpool’s asking price.

The Merseyside club want at least €80 million for the Colombian international.

Barcelona, however, have drawn a line.

“The club recognizes that the summer is very long and that the operation to sign the Colombian won’t be resolved quickly, but will require patience and, when necessary, a good play.”

“But the red line they won’t cross is clearly set: €60 million.

That’s the price the club considers fair for a 28-year-old player.”

The Catalan club “will not cross the red line of €60 million to get Díaz,” a figure they believe matches the 28-year-old’s current value and stature in European football.

With a long summer window ahead, Barcelona are not rushing.

They believe patience and a smart approach could help them strike a better deal.

One solution reportedly being explored is a fixed fee closer to their limit, topped off with performance-based variables to bridge the gap.

From Liverpool’s point of view, they are firm.

Diaz is not on the market, and they are not interested in selling him on the cheap.

The only way they consider letting him go is if an offer comes close to their valuation.

But there’s one factor that may help Barça: the player himself.

Reports suggest “Luis Díaz himself is delighted by the possibility of wearing the Blaugrana shirt.”

That desire could shape negotiations—especially if the player starts pushing for the move.

And then there’s the financial angle.

“The Colombian can also see his wages increase with the move to the Blaugrana club, especially if they see their salary cap increase.”

In other words, Diaz sees both footballing and financial reasons to make the jump.

Still, the deal is nowhere near done.

But Barcelona know what they want.

And they’ve made it clear how far they’ll go.
