Barcelona reportedly believes that Luis Diaz has a gentleman's agreement with Liverpool to be able to leave the club if the Reds receive an offer over a certain amount for his services.

Diaz has been the subject of constant transfer speculation for some time now, with Barcelona and Bayern Munich — as well as clubs in Saudi Arabia — heavily linked with the Colombia international.

On Monday, German outlet Bild reported that Diaz had given Bayern his word that he was ready to make the move to Bavaria, but Tuesday has seen the emergence of strong reports linking him with Barcelona again.

Barca is in the market for a new left-sided forward to ease the attacking burden on Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski.

It had looked as though the Catalan club would sign Nico Williams from Barcelona, but for a second summer in a row, it failed to get a deal over the line for the Spain international.

Williams signed a new 10-year contract at Athletic Club last week, sending Barca back to the drawing board with its list of targets.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco spoke glowingly of Diaz toward the end of the 2024-25 season, while Marcus Rashford of Manchester United is also an option.

Spanish outlet Cadena SER says that there is a gentleman's agreement between Diaz and Liverpool that means that if an offer in excess of €80 million ($94 million) comes in for the 28-year-old, Diaz would be allowed to "leave without a problem."

Rashford would be available for around half that amount, but Diaz is Barca's firm first-choice target, and the Catalan club is hopeful of driving down his €80 million ($94 million) price tag in the coming weeks.

Diaz was due back at Liverpool training on Tuesday, and ahead of his return to the club, he was asked by Colombian influencer La Liendra about his plans.



"We’ll see what can be achieved, for us and for the club

We’ll try to do our best and make the best decision.

"We’re in the process of negotiations, talking with the club, with Liverpool, with everyone who’s approaching us

Trying to make the best decision, now."

Diaz is contracted to Liverpool until 2027, but he remains on the same terms that he signed upon joining the club from Porto in 2022, meaning that he is significantly underpaid relative to his importance to Arne Slot's squad.

Liverpool has reportedly attempted to address Diaz's contract situation, but little progress has been made.

Rather than sell him this summer — unless a massive offer comes in — the Reds would prefer to maximize Diaz's performance value over the next two years and allow him to leave for nothing following in 2027.
