Why Barcelona have made Liverpool’s Luis Diaz a top summer transfer target

Barcelona have reportedly made Liverpool forward Luis Diaz their top transfer target in a move which doesn’t appear to make too much sense.

The 28-year-old would be a very expensive addition and doesn’t look a guaranteed starter with the likes of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal around.

So why are Barcelona so keen? Diario Sport have come up with some reasons why Diaz is so liked at Barcelona and has become the club’s preferred choice over Nico Williams.

Firstly, it’s reported Barcelona value his maturity which they feel is important as they have a squad packed full of young talent such as Yamal, Pau Cubarsi and Marc Casado.
