Barça is working on finding alternatives in case the signing of Nico Williams fails, and it is very clear who is chosen to become the ‘plan B’.
Because it has long been decided that, in the event that the Athletic Club de Bilbao star cannot land, Joan Laporta and Deco will do everything possible to secure the signature of Luís Díaz, an option that also convinces Hans-Dieter Flick very much , as it has exceptional conditions.
It is also not a simple operation at all, but they will try to do everything possible to reach an agreement with Liverpool. And there have already been meetings to speed up the talks and reach an agreement with the English team. In fact, right now there are several emissaries of the ‘networks’ in Barcelona, and absolutely nothing can be ruled out. But they won’t give any kind of gift, and they will ask for astronomical compensation.
More than 70 million euros will be demanded from Anfield to allow the Colombian star, who is destined to be an indispensable piece for Arne Slot , to change his mind. An amount that they cannot pay at the Camp Nou right now, although they have a new strategy to get him to land for a much more reasonable and accessible cost. And they want to include in the operation a crack that can be interesting.
Because Barça continue to look for a solution to the problem posed by Raphinha Dias, and seeing that no convincing offer has yet arrived, the new idea they have had is to try to get him to end up in Merseyside, so that Diaz arrives for less than 20′ kilos’. Flick has authorized this operation with his eyes closed, and he would be delighted to be able to lose sight of the Brazilian, to bring in exchange the ex-Porto and Junior de Barranquilla.
With a couple of weeks left for the transfer window to end , Laporta can get a ‘bombshell’, such as the landing of Díaz, and dispense with the winger born in 1996.
