Liverpool will point out that Bruno Fernandes was going to go for £100m so they expect the same if they are going to sell him."Barcelona don't have that money and, at the moment, they don't know if they can even raise that money because of the financial approvals needed.

‘We're talking' – Liverpool star Luis Diaz opens door to £70m Barcelona transfer with bombshell statement
LUIS DIAZ opened the door to a shock £70million Barcelona move by confessing he is in talks with other clubs. Liverpool yesterday rejected an approach from the Spanish giants to speak to their Colombian winger. But Diaz, who has two years left on his Anfield contract, declared: 'The market is open and we're trying to sort out what's best for us. 'We're talking with other clubs. It's the transfer window, it's normal. 'I'm very happy at Liverpool. From day one, they've made me feel really welcome. 'Right now we're in contact with them because we're speaking with other clubs. 'I am just waiting to see what happens. If Liverpool don't make a good offer, I still have two years left with them, I would be happy to stay there. 'It's up to them. I am just waiting to see what happens. Everything depends on them. 'Obviously, it's up to me to decide what's best for the future.' Diaz's bombshell comments came after Liverpool posted a picture of him kissing the Premier League trophy on their official X page, accompanied with the caption: 'He's from Barrancas and he plays for Liverpool.'

Diaz, 28, was a key part of Liverpool's Prem title triumph last season, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists. He joined the Reds from Porto in January 2022 in a deal worth up to £49m. The Colombian has scored 41 goals in 148 appearances for the Reds, winning the Prem, FA Cup and two League Cups. Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, contacted Liverpool on Wednesday to discuss the deal but was told the Kop club do not want to sell. Dutchman Slot wants to keep Diaz for next season's title defence as he plans a £200m reboot that will include the £126m arrival of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Barca want Diaz to slot in alongside Raphinha and Lamine Yamal in their front three. But he is also Saudi club Al-Nassr's top target. His partner, Gera Ponce, posted an emotional Instagram message which some fans believe is a farewell. She wrote: 'Thank you for so much love, for so much dedication and for making us feel at home. 'This is a real bond, deep and strong, that reaffirms we'll never walk alone.' 2
