Many European newspapers, as well as reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano, have confirmed that the rumor that Luis Diaz wants to leave Liverpool is correct. Specifically, Diaz wants to move to Barca, after receiving a storm of criticism from "Red Brigade" fans.

Two days ago, Diaz was spotted partying and having fun at an event in Colombia. This image was considered inappropriate for the mourning atmosphere in Liverpool, after the tragic accident of Diogo Jota.

Jota and Diaz were once close teammates. Two years ago, the Portuguese superstar held up his teammate's No. 7 shirt to support Diaz, after his father was kidnapped in his native Colombia.

Many Liverpool fans were therefore disappointed with Diaz, when this player acted in a tactless manner during Jota's funeral.

"Colombia is almost half a world away from Portugal, I understand why Diaz couldn't come to Jota's funeral. I also sympathize with him attending an event, but he shouldn't be laughing and partying like that," one fan commented on social media.

Luis Diaz was heavily criticized on forums and fan pages of Liverpool fans. Previously, this superstar was also asked to buy by Barca and many big teams in Saudi Arabia, but Liverpool always refused.

The latest story has once again turned Diaz's future around. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Barca have approached Diaz again, and the 28-year-old striker has reached a personal agreement with the Catalan team.

This information is expected to upset the European football transfer market. Barca previously pursued Nico Williams closely, but the Spanish striker agreed to stay at Athletic Bilbao.

Unable to sign Williams, Barca were expected to approach Marcus Rashford - a player that Man United really wanted to sell. But now they are likely to choose Diaz, which puts both Liverpool and Man United in a difficult position.

At the same time, Bayern Munich is also asking to buy Luis Diaz. It is not impossible that the German "gray tiger" will be the winning team thanks to its more stable finances compared to Barca.

HUY DANG
