According to reports: Liverpool star informs the club that he wants to leave Anfield this summer to join Barcelona

Liverpool striker Luis Diaz reportedly told the club that he wanted to join Barcelona this summer. The Colombian's current contract at Anfield will expire in 2027.

The 28-year-old has performed pretty well since joining Porto in January 2022, but not outstanding, with 41 goals and 23 assists in 148 games. This includes 17 goals and 8 assists in 50 games that ended recently in the 2024-25 season.

Diaz contributed 13 goals and 7 assists in 36 Premier League games, which is probably his last game at Arne Slott.

According to Le Monde in La Coruña, the Colombian's agent has informed Premier League champion Diaz hopes to join Barcelona this summer. Earlier this season, the player apparently refused to extend his negotiations at Anfield.

The above report stated that Diaz even refused to transfer to Saudi professional league giant Nasser. He is said to be happy to be in the Hans Flick system with Ramin Yamal, Raphael and Robert Lewandowski.

However, any transfer for Diaz will not be cheap for Barcelona, ​​and their financial difficulties are well documented. The Red Army reportedly offered an offer of 85 million euros for the Colombian. But as the player wishes to leave, a lower transfer fee may be approved by the parties concerned.

Season Review of Liverpool and Barcelona in 2025

Led by the new head coach, both Liverpool and Barcelona have had successful seasons, especially in the domestic league. The Reds won their second Premier League title for the first time in five years, while Barcelona won the triple-tall in the domestic league.

Arne Slott's Reds also entered the League Cup final, but lost to Newcastle United. However, in the Champions League, they lost to the final champion Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 penalty shootout.

At the same time, Hansi Flick's Barcelona lost to Inter Milan 4-3 at home in the second leg of the semi-finals, and was eventually eliminated 7-6 with a total score, almost fighting for the four championships.

However, Barcelona performed well in domestic matches, beating arch rival Real Madrid in all four national derbys, including two finals, and Frick achieved his dream first season in Spanish football.
