This follows Kylian Mbappe’s decision to cut ties with the Ligue 1 champions this summer ahead of a move to Real Madrid, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.
The word coming out of Liverpool, however, is that the Reds still value the Colombian international as an ‘important player’.
“For Luis Diaz, it’s true that Barcelona really like the player but they are also very realistic. At the moment it’s almost impossible for Barca to make it happen unless their situation with Financial Fair Play changes in a super positive way in the next few weeks,” Fabrizio Romano told The Debrief podcast.
“At the moment it’s something that can’t happen. Appreciation is there. It’s normal to appreciate a fantastic player like Luis Diaz but in terms of negotiations it’s not something concrete. Not something we can mention as a concrete possibility.
“For Liverpool he’s still an important player, so Liverpool are not planning to change with Luis Diaz. The only way would be with a crazy, big proposal, but at the moment again it’s all quiet around Luis Diaz.”
