WHAT HAPPENED?
According to a report from SPORT, Barcelona fear missing out on top transfer target Diaz as they feel that an operation for the Liverpool winger might not be financially possible, especially with recent interest from Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Barcelona's pursuit of Diaz has slowed due to intense competition and financial issues, including salary cap restrictions. Liverpool are asking for at least €75 million (£64m/$82m), which is considered too high a figure by the Catalans. For a move to Barcelona to remain possible, Diaz would need to push for a lower fee by rejecting offers from the Middle East.
DID YOU KNOW?
In light of these challenges, reports suggest that Barcelona could renew talks with Nico Williams' camp, potentially viewing the Athletic Club talisman as a more attainable target, despite his €60m (£51m/$66m) release clause. However, if Barcelona fail to resolve their VIP seat leasing deal with La Liga, both Diaz and Williams may remain out of reach.
WHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA?
After thumping Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, Barcelona will face Leganes on Saturday, April 12, in the hope of extending their four-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table.
