Barcelona have identified Liverpool winger Luis Diaz as their summer transfer priority as they prepare to build on a domestic treble, according to reports.

Sporting director Deco has accepted that the club must provide Hansi Flick with more attacking firepower, having heavily relied on Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal this season.

He told ESPN: "We feel very dependent on Raphinha and Lamine.



Maybe we need similar players." Barcelona's search for new forwards has reportedly directed the La Liga champions towards Diaz, who has just won a league title of his own with Liverpool.

According to Relevo, Barca have pinpointed Diaz as their top target ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

The 28-year-old is under contract at Anfield until 2027 and hasn't yet committed his future, opening the door for a potential exit.

It's claimed that Flick is also interested in Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, but the Spaniard ranks lower than Diaz on his wishlist.

The report adds that Barcelona would have to cough up around £67million to lure Diaz away from Liverpool, which could prove problematic.

Amid continued financial restrictions, the Nou Camp giants are said to require offloading some players before launching a pursuit of that magnitude.

Diaz himself has poured cold water over suggestions that he could seek a fresh challenge away from Liverpool this summer.

Earlier this week, the Colombia international explained that discussions over a new deal are planned and insisted his desire was to remain on Merseyside.

"I'm really happy and I have been like this since the first day I arrived," Diaz told Colombian channel Telemundo Deportes.

"I've always been very calm, and I have really just been enjoying the football played by this great team, being a part of this.

"We will be talking, the talk about it [his future] will happen.

It also depends on the club; it all depends on the details.

"They're all details that are sorted out separately.

But I am very calm, very happy, and I am enjoying the Premier League."

Diaz has played a crucial role in Arne Slot's sensational maiden season at Liverpool, plundering 17 goals and eight assists across 48 games in all competitions.

In 2023, Diaz's father described a Barcelona switch as a "dream", but his son appears settled at Anfield as he eyes building on his four major trophies.
