Watch out, Liverpool! Barcelona still keen on Luis Diaz transfer as Nico Williams move hits snag - with Reds winger pictured with Blaugrana star on holiday

<p>Barcelona had a spectacular 2024/25 season offensively as Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal hit new heights in terms of goal contributions. However, Flick is keen on changing up the set-up of the side heading into next season as he wants the Brazilian winger to move into the No. 10 position. They have been interested in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/barcelona-reach-agreement-sign-nico-williams-six-year-contract-lamine-yamal-spain-team-mate-closer-transfer-athletic-club/bltcaace7bd2a1cfd6f" target="_blank">striking a deal for Athletic Club's Williams</a>; however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/nico-williams-barcelona-off-athletic-club-stalled-complete-surprise-transfer-negotiations/blt85839583e210e870#cs1f40b2d7d83f29f1" target="_blank">their move has hit a sudden snag</a>, and they are now considering other options.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It had been reported that Barcelona sporting director Deco was the one who had been pushing for the deal for Diaz this summer ahead of Williams; however, Flick is said to prefer the signing of the Spain international, who is younger than the Colombian. However, Deco believes that the signing of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/revealed-why-barcelona-want-luis-diaz-nico-williams-president-joan-laporta-athletic-club/blt6d484b82da1e9bd2" target="_blank">Williams, who is a close friend with a number of Barcelona players, would be detrimental to the squad dynamics</a>. However, the same could now be the case with Diaz as Barcelona star Dani Olmo was spotted on holiday with the Colombian star winger.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="es" dir="ltr">🌴 Encuentro Dani Olmo-Luis Díaz en Ibiza<a href="https://t.co/4lT5jr7bmz">https://t.co/4lT5jr7bmz</a></p>— Mundo Deportivo (@mundodeportivo) <a href="https://twitter.com/mundodeportivo/status/1939636763862913443?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 30, 2025</a></blockquote>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Catalan side are still set to pursue the deal for Williams heading into July; however, Flick's side are continuing to keep tabs on Diaz heading into next season. It is likely that a move for Diaz will only come to fruition if the deal for Williams falls through.</p>
