Diaz's contract with Liverpool expires in 2027, so this could be a good time for the club to consider selling him. At 28 years old, he is still in his prime and has been performing well, scoring 17 goals and providing 8 assists in 50 appearances last season. Other clubs, including those in the Saudi Pro League, are also interested in signing him.

Journalist Florian Plettenberg has commented on the situation, saying that Diaz is one of Barcelona's main targets for the summer transfer window. He also mentioned that talks between Diaz and Barcelona have taken place, and that interest from Saudi Arabia remains strong.

Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, has been looking for a new player to join the team. While he has been interested in Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, he may now be considering Diaz, who has been more consistent in recent years. Liverpool may need to sell Diaz to make room for new signings, including a potential bid for Bayern Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz.
