Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has addressed comments from Deco, after the Catalan club's sporting director said last week that the club 'likes' Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford.
Diaz has been linked with a move to Barcelona for some time after his father said that it would be the Colombian's dream to join the Nou Camp club.

"We like Luis Diaz, we like Rashford… and we like other wingers too," Deco said.

Luis Diaz has been linked with a summer move to Barcelona
But he has been an important player for Arne Slot's team this season and Sky Sports claimed that Liverpool was set to offer a deal that reflected his status.
According to Capology, Diaz currently earns £55,000 ($73,000) per week, which is significantly lower than players of a similar standing in the squad.
Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Federico Chiesa are all reported to earn more than double the amount that Diaz takes home, and Diaz could be forgiven for finding that galling given Chiesa has barely played all season and the Colombian has scored more goals than Gakpo, Nunez, and Jota.
Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr has also been linked with a move for Diaz, who has been at Liverpool for three-and-a-half years after joining from Porto in January of 2022.
