Barcelona are, to all intents and purposes, out of the race for Luis Diaz. Barring a radical change of perspective from Liverpool, and a change of plans for Bayern Munich, the Blaugrana are set to miss out on a second top target for the left side of their frontline, after Nico Williams turned down a move this week.
The word has been that Barcelona are still prioritising and working on a move for Luis Diaz as their top priority for the coming season, but it seems they are making little progress. Liverpool have made it clear that they do not want to sell Diaz, and rejected an approach from the Blaugrana in June.
Although he is their priority for the transfer window, Barcelona do not intend to overextend themselves for Diaz. MD explain that the Catalan side have set a price limit of €60m to spend on Diaz, and will not spend more on that. It was a limit that was set before the transfer window opened, which Barcelona felt reasonable, but the tragic passing of Diogo Jota and the presence of Bayern Munich has complicated matters.
