The future of Luis Diaz might have already been confirmed as he continues to be linked with a summer move away from Liverpool.

Barcelona would appear to be the most likely destination for Diaz, who chipped in with 13 league goals for the Reds last season.

It has been reported that Barcelona are interested in bringing the 28-year-old to the Nou Camp this summer.



However, a new development suggests the Catalan giants could be about to shelve their interest in the Liverpool man.

They are said to be making progress on a different front, with Fabrizio Romano claiming that Nico Williams has emerged as Barcelona's priority target.

The report states they have decided to 'activate' a deal for the Spain international with talks said to be underway.

Terms are yet to be agreed at club level and Barcelona will need to discuss the terms of his £49m release clause with Athletic Bilbao.

Williams is thought to be keen on making the switch, having given his 'total priority' to ensuring the move goes ahead.

This could be good news for Liverpool, who do not want to sell Diaz this summer.

Given that Barcelona are now pressing ahead to sign Williams, it seems Liverpool may get to keep their man for at least another season.

That said, it will be crucial for the Reds to extend Diaz's contract if they are serious about warding off external interest.
