Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is unlikely to fit the bill as Barcelona's alternative to Nico Williams
Barcelona have said they have begun considering alternatives to Nico Williams this summer, as the Basque winger's arrival continues to look difficult. After Athletic Club gave him the number 10 shirt, most sources report that he is yet to answer to Barcelona.
The Blaugrana are look at other options for the position of the left wing, one of which is Luis Diaz. The Colombian winger was the Sporting Deco Director's preference before the decision to go for Williams, and now he is an option again, with MD they represent that Barcelona will have the same budget as they do for the movement of Nico Williams, that is to say 62 million euros.

However, The Athletic say that only offers well above 58 million euros will be enough to get it too Liverpool at the negotiating table, adding that no offer has arrived at his door.
Diaz, like another of his alternatives Rafael Leao, seems way out of his price. With the transfer window still in its final weeks, Liverpool would probably want more for Diaz than they could have at the start of the window, when finding a replacement would have been easier.
