The crazy transfer season has reached its peak, leaving Liverpool fans stranded at its epicentre. After the failed pursuit of Martin Zubimendi, the Reds are looking for a divine intervention to break the persisting number six voodoo.
From Aurelien Tchouameni, Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia to now Zubimendi, Liverpool needs to break this pattern as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the transfer circus opted to pull another trick on the fanbase who merely want their new head coach backed.
False news gripped the internet declaring that Luis Diaz had reached an agreement with Manchester City. Thankfully, reliable journalists responded quickly and denounced the rumours to calm the rising tsunami of comments from the Reds fanbase towards the club.
While a big section of the fans are calm, waiting for the football to restart to watch Arne Slot’s style. Many fans feel frustrated for Slot, recalling the late downfall from last season and seeking solutions to prevent a repeat.
At this moment losing any first-team player without a proper replacement plan is a huge worry for the Reds. However, they have set a price for Diaz after continuous rumours of his exit with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain involved.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona want Diaz after their failure to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club this summer. The Catalan giants have 55-60 million Euros available which they wanted to use to sign Williams to bolster their attack.
However, Barca’s sporting director Deco continues to admire Diaz while the Colombian’s well-documented admiration for the club remains strong. Diaz’s father continues to remind the world how much his son loves Barcelona, only fueling the rumours even further.
Liverpool are maintaining the price of €58 million plus a 4 million CPI clause which is a little higher for Barcelona. Nevertheless, the Reds are more than happy to keep the Colombian as they prepare to start their campaign.

Liverpool cannot sell their important first-team player without having a proper replacement in place. They want Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon but the valuation in that deal could become another obstacle for Diaz to join Barcelona.
