Liverpool’s new signing Luis Diaz almost ended up at FC Barcelona in the last transfer window. That reports El País, the largest daily newspaper in Spain.

Barcelona: BVB also wanted Liverpool purchase Luis Diaz
While Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund is said to have scouted Diaz, little was heard of Barca’s interest. But loud El País should Diaz move to the Camp Nou alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Adama Traore. However, Dembele’s refusal to leave Barca half a year before his contract expires has ‘ruined’ Blaugrana’s plans.
Diaz’ contract in Porto ran until 2024. The Portuguese giants had signed him from Junior FC in 2019 for around seven million euros. The 25-year-old is now tied to Liverpool until 2027.
