Xavi says that the £100 million Liverpool player’s door is open to Barcelona.

This week, Xavi made some intriguing remarks that seem to indicate Barcelona is open to signing a forward from Liverpool.

The desire of Barcelona to sign players from Liverpool has received a lot of attention. Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, according to El Nacional, were both on their agenda and desired the relocation.

Now, let’s be completely honest: El Nacional is completely unreliable, so supporters should proceed with extreme caution. However, there might be some truth to the Diaz side of the story.

His father openly discussed his son’s alleged “dream” to play for Barcelona at the end of the previous year. He’s not the first player from Liverpool to have that fantasy, exactly.

His agent and Barcelona are said to have discussed a possible transfer, but the Catalans ultimately decided he was too costly. Apparently, deals over £100 million would be excessive.

But this summer, Barca might be able to release some cash. Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly interested in Raphinha, according to TeamTalk.

That would not only generate revenue but also free up a forward position for a new player. He may not be the only one to depart, though.

This week, Xavi was questioned regarding Robert Lewandowski’s future because Al-Ahli is considering the Pole. He opened the door to let himself out.

“We will make a decision at the end of the season and truly appreciate Lewandowski’s contribution to the team,” he said at a press conference.

Furthermore, there might be space for Luis Diaz to pass through the door when it is open.

LUIS DIAZ’S FUTURE

Diaz has good cause to insist on action. For starters, he hasn’t signed a new deal with a wage increase and is still bound by his original Liverpool contract.

He is therefore among the first team squad’s lowest paid members. In contrast, Nunez arrived six months later and is said to make comfortably more than twice as much as Diaz.

However, Liverpool has good reason to sell as well. Combining the two could lead to the decision this summer that a sale makes sense for all parties, particularly if the player is being actively pursued by other teams.

Maybe Arne Slot will have to decide how significant he thinks Diaz is. But it seems Barcelona will be able to pull it off if Liverpool decide they’re willing to sell.
