Barcelona Targets Liverpool Star Luis Díaz to Ease Winger Burden

Barcelona is actively exploring solutions to reduce the heavy burden on their key wide players — Raphinha and Lamine Yamal — who have been central figures throughout the 2024–2025 season.

Massive Workload Recorded by Both Wingers

Statistics highlight the extraordinary minutes played by both:

• Raphinha: 4,597 minutes across 56 appearances, contributing 34 goals and 25 assists.

• Yamal: 4,463 minutes in 54 matches, with 18 goals and 25 assists.

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has had no choice but to rely heavily on them due to the lack of alternatives in the attacking wing positions.

Barcelona Targets Liverpool’s Luis Díaz

To address this imbalance, Barcelona is now targeting Luis Díaz, the Colombian winger currently playing for Liverpool, as their top priority in the summer transfer market.

According to recent reports, the Blaugrana see Díaz as the perfect addition to bring depth and rotation to their frontline. His pace, dribbling, and direct attacking style are viewed as a natural complement to Barcelona’s tactical setup.

Potential Raphinha Swap on the Table

To help facilitate the deal, Barcelona is reportedly considering offering Raphinha in a potential swap transfer, as the Brazilian is known to be admired by Liverpool’s recruitment team.

A swap deal could be mutually beneficial, allowing both clubs to reinforce their squads without hefty financial strain.
