Father of Liverpool star Luis Diaz says his son is a Barcelona fan amid transfer links

Luis Diaz is a remarkable performer for Liverpool and it is no surprise that rumours have surfaced linking him to Barcelona. These speculations gained further traction as his father acknowledged that the Colombian forward, despite enduring personal turmoil with his recent kidnapping, has always been a fervent fan of the Catalan giants.

Luis Diaz exhibited immense resilience on the field, delivering a crucial late goal against Luton that salvaged a valuable point for Liverpool. His noteworthy contributions extended to the international stage, where he netted two goals for Colombia. These stellar displays have not only endeared him to Liverpool fans but have also captured the attention of top clubs, including Barcelona.

Addressing the reports about Luis Diaz potentially moving to Barcelona, his father expressed gratitude to Porto and Liverpool for their warm reception. However, he didn’t shy away from acknowledging that joining Barcelona would come across as a dream come true for his son.

Here is what Lucho’s father had to say about his links with Barcelona as reported by Sport Witness via ECHO:

“It is true that Luis is a loyal Barcelona fan and it would be his dream to go there. So far I would like to thank Porto and Liverpool for the way they welcomed him and received him.”


These comments surely add a layer to the ongoing speculation surrounding Luis Diaz‘s future. The recent challenges faced by the forward [the kidnapping of his father] certainly underscore the resilience and character he brings both on and off the pitch.

Lucho to Barca?

While Liverpool supporters appreciate Diaz’s commitment to the club, the allure of joining a prestigious institution like Barcelona could present a complex decision for the 26-year-old. As the season progresses, Liverpool fans remain focused on the team’s pursuit of success, with Diaz playing an integral role in Jurgen Klopp’s plans.
