Barcelona start work on ‘financial engineering’ to sign Luis Diaz

Barcelona have reactivated their interest in Luis Diaz, according to reliable Colombian reporter Pipe Sierra.

Barca are planning to make an offer to Liverpool for the €60m-rated winger but they want to sort out their financial situation first using some ‘financial engineering’.

Nico Williams was Barcelona’s first-choice left-wing target this summer, but the Spaniard gave the Blaugrana the cold shoulder to stay in Bilbao.

Barca signed Dani Olmo but Hansi Flick still wants an out-and-out wide forward in his team.

Diaz seems like the chosen one for now with the Colombian attacker reportedly favouring a move to Barcelona.

The 27-year-old had talks with Liverpool to extend his contract but it ended without an agreement.
