Why Barcelona are ‘losing patience' with attacking transfer target
The board at La Liga giants Barcelona are growing impatient with the situation of a headline member of the club's summer transfer shortlist.
That's according to Mundo Deportivo, who highlight Luis Díaz as the player in question.

Wide-man Díaz has of course seen his name pushed somewhat into the background in Catalunya's capital over recent days.
This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the Colombian has been overtaken in the race to be a new Barcelona player by Athletic Club standout Nico Williams.
This shift came for a number of reasons, not least of them the fact that Nico himself is actively pushing for a Camp Nou switch.
A similar approach had been expected on Díaz's part for some time now, but is yet to come to fruition.
And as per the aforementioned MD, as much has not gone down well with the likes of Deco and Joan Laporta:

'In the case of Luis Díaz, Barcelona have begun to lose patience. Joan Laporta and Deco's plan was for the Colombian to put strong pressure on Liverpool. However, aside from Díaz's statements in a recent press conference, the reality is that there has not been any significant pressure on the Anfield leadership.'

WATCH: Atletico Madrid strike early against Seattle Sounders as Pablo Barrios scores
Atletico Madrid are aiming to pick up their first points of the 2025 Club World Cup against Seattle Sounders, and they are on course to do so after taking an early lead over the MLS side. Diego Simeone's side were thrashed 4-0 by European champions Paris Saint-Germain in their opening match, so a bounce-back is needed against Seattle. And so far, they are set for victory after scoring in the 11th minute courtesy of midfielder Pablo Barrios. It's a wonderful finish from Barrios, who finds the back of the net via the crossbar after being played in by Giuliano Simeone. It's a goal that had been coming after a strong start from Atleti, who can now settle into proceedings with ease. Atleti must win this one if they are to give themselves a better chance of reaching the Club World Cup knockout stages, and so far, they are on course for the three points.
