Luis Díaz has regained momentum as a possible reinforcement for FC Barcelona after what happened with Nico Williams. From day one, Deco has advocated signing the Colombian for next season. The main problem has always been the price demanded by Liverpool, which will only negotiate starting at €80 million. With things as they are, Barça has looked for alternatives, but everything could change in the coming days.
Huge mess at Liverpool with Luis Díaz
Unfortunately, this week Diogo Jota, Luis Díaz's teammate at Liverpool, has passed away. The Portuguese footballer had a car accident and his funeral has been held in Portugal. Many players have found it impossible to attend, with the Colombian being one of them. But what hasn't been well received at Anfield is his public attitude after everything that has happened.
Instead of showing a lower profile after the death of his teammate, Luis Díaz has appeared on social media laughing and dancing. Instead of attending Diogo Jota's funeral or paying tribute to him in Liverpool, what the Colombian has done is attend a 'youtubers' event, dancing and laughing. His attitude has greatly angered Liverpool fans, especially because the Portuguese footballer was one of the people who supported him the most during the well-known kidnapping of his father.
"Go to Barça now"
Luis Díaz's behavior hasn't been well received. Many Liverpool fans have publicly criticized him for his attitude during these difficult times. One thing is not being able to attend the funeral for various reasons, another is to be seen laughing publicly after a teammate's death.
With this in mind, anger with the Colombian is growing at Anfield, and his sale is being publicly demanded. Barça remains interested and many fans are demanding his immediate departure. They don't care about losing money or Liverpool lowering its current valuation of €80 million. Luis Díaz is no longer welcome there.
Now it remains to be seen what Barcelona will do in this scenario. It has different options open to strengthen its attack, among which is Luis Díaz. But he's not the only one, since the option of Rashford also remains on the table.
