JAKARTA - Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is on Barcelona's radar. Diaz is an alternative if Barca fail to attract Nico Wiliams or Dani Olmo.

Barca are quite active in hunting players. Even though they are still overshadowed by the club's large debt, Barca is still looking for ways to attract new players.

One of them certainly let go of some players. Striker Robert Lewandowski is on the list of players who will be sold.

Although his agent stated Lewandowski would stay at Barca, coach Xavi Hernandez is ready to sell the veteran striker.

Xavi's move received full support from the Director of Sports Deco. Lewandowski's high salary is a problem for this elite La Liga club. In fact, he is the player with the highest salary at Barca.

On the other hand, the age of the former Bayern Munich striker who is already 35 is no longer young, so regeneration must be carried out. It's just that the young player Vitor Roque, who is the coater, wants to be loaned to another club.

Apart from playing players, the club has reached a new contract agreement with Nike and Barca Studios. Getting fresh funds from two sponsors clearly gave Barca capital to sign in players without having to wait for free.

Barca are also a bit free to target players. According to Mundo Deportivo Barca is aiming for Diaz. Even this Colombia national team winger is the main target of the Blaugrana.

Diaz's father also supported his son from Liverpool to join Barca. Previously, senior Diaz had expressed hope that his son would play in La Liga by strengthening Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.

"To be honest, at this time I don't know much about Barcelona. But it is true that Luis is actually a loyal Barca fan. This is his dream to play there [Barcelona]. So I thank Porto and Liverpool for welcoming him," said Diaz senior.

"Luis pemain yang tak sulit beradaptasi. Dia sosok yang rendah hati. Kinerja, pendeditian dan dia memang sosok yang sangat disiplin," katanya.

"There is no problem if Luis joins Barcelona, which is the top club and one of the biggest in the world," he said again.

Although Diaz was the target, Read also targeted other players. Nico Williams, the Athletic Bilbao winger remains the target. Likewise Dani Olmo, a Spanish national team player who plays in RB Leipzig.
