Diaz wants Barcelona to pay compensation if he is not registered on time. |
According to Mundo Deportivo , Luis Diaz is willing to accept a contract without a release clause, something Nico Williams insisted on during negotiations with Barca. That means that if the Catalan club cannot register Diaz for financial reasons, he can leave for free - a way to protect his personal interests.
However, according to AS , Diaz's representatives have made another request: instead of allowing their client to leave for free, they want to add a clear financial compensation clause. Specifically, if Barcelona still cannot complete Diaz's registration by the August 31 deadline, the club will have to pay a significant amount to compensate for the loss of time and playing opportunities for this player.
This clause is seen as a middle ground. Diaz is not allowed to unilaterally terminate the contract and leave for free, but at the same time, he is not stuck at Camp Nou without playing in the first half of the season.
In the worst case, if he is forced to wait until the winter transfer window to find a new destination, the above compensation will be a reassuring factor to help Diaz feel secure in choosing Barcelona.
The bigger problem is that Diaz does not have a release clause like many other players. Therefore, the decision on the transfer fee is entirely in Liverpool's hands. Earlier in the summer, the Spanish press had predicted that Barca could close the deal for around 70 million euros. However, the situation changed dramatically after the sudden death of Diogo Jota - a huge shock not only to the team but also to the spirit of the Anfield team.
Jota's departure leaves Liverpool without an important piece of the puzzle, and this significantly reduces the possibility of them letting Diaz leave in the summer of 2025. The English team themselves are in no hurry knowing that control of the deal is completely in their hands.
Not stopping there, Barca also has to face fierce competition from Bayern Munich. After Jamal Musiala was injured, the Bavarian team immediately joined the race. According to Bild , the German team is in a more favorable position, with strong financial potential and not bound by strict financial fair play rules like Barca. The advantage in terms of time and certainty in registering to compete is making it easier for Bayern to convince Diaz.
In short, although Luis Diaz has made a move to "open the door" to Barcelona, every final decision still depends on many factors: from the financial situation of Camp Nou, Liverpool's stance, to pressure from other big rivals. Barca may be the dream destination, but if the financial problem is not solved in time, that dream may once again slip away from the Catalan team.
