Barcelona's sports director, Deco, has confirmed that the team is on the lookout for a player similar to Raphinha and Lamine Yamal to help share the workload. With a budget of €80 million set aside, the team is willing to make a significant offer to Liverpool to acquire Diaz.

Diaz's current contract with Liverpool runs until 2027, and it is likely that the team will engage in talks with him regarding a potential contract extension later this year.
