Barcelona sporting director Deco and Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams.
Barcelona sporting director Deco views Luis Diaz as an ideal fit for the club ahead of their potential target Nico Williams, as per reports from El Nacional. The 27-year-old is likely to become one of the players the Catalans will be keen on signing in the 2025 summer transfer window from English club Liverpool.
Diaz has been in stellar form for Liverpool this season, scoring seven goals and bagging two assists in the 16 matches he has played so far. The Colombian usually likes to operate on the left wing, although he can be persuaded to play as a sole centre-forward or right-winger on the odd occasion.
Deco, meanwhile, feels that Diaz could be ideal for Barcelona under new manager Hansi Flick. The Spanish giants - who are third in LaLiga - put a lot of emphasis on mobility in congested areas as well as possession, and Diaz excels in these skills. His willingness and ability to do well in tight spaces has worked in his favor.
