Sky Sports reported that Luis Díaz’s move from Liverpool to Barcelona is highly unlikely, and that the Catalan club currently has a plan B for the left winger.
Barcelona wanted to sign Neco Williams, and it is said that an agreement had already been reached between the two parties, before the Spanish international surprised everyone by deciding to renew his 10-year contract with Athletic Bilbao.
The first plan B to the failed signing of Williams was to attempt to sign Luis Díaz, but the latest report confirms that Barça’s management has realized that this is almost impossible.
Liverpool does not intend to let go of the Colombian star, and even if they agree, they will not accept anything less than €80 million, if not more, a sum the Catalan club cannot currently afford.
Based on this, Joan Laporta’s administration activated Plan B: Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.
There is no dispute among the media that the England international dreams of joining Barcelona, to the point that he is willing to take a pay cut and reject all other opportunities to wear the Blaugrana shirt.
Barcelona’s management is currently exploring Rashford’s situation, and there are many discussions at Camp Nou regarding this deal. However, there appears to be some hesitation among officials, particularly given the player’s behavior during the last two years with Manchester United.
The 28-year-old is certain to leave United, especially after the recent decision to retire his number 10 shirt and give it to new signing Matheus Cunha.
Meanwhile, Barcelona has other ideas, represented by Rafael Leao, whom Milan are willing to sell for €70 million plus variables.
