Liverpool attacker Luis Diaz has been linked with a move to Barcelona in recent months, and the Reds could consider selling him if he does not sign an extension with them.
According to journalist Pete O’Rourke on Football Insider, there have been rumours that Barcelona could come forward with a £85 million offer for the player, and the journalist believes that Liverpool could be forced to consider if a huge amount of money is offered.
In addition to that, the 28-year-old will enter the final two years of his contract in the summer, and Liverpool are in talks to extend Diaz’ deal. If the two parties fail to reach an agreement, they could take a conscious decision to cash in on the player. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

“If the reported £85million is true, it leaves Liverpool with a decision to make,” he told Football Insider.
“They are in talks over a new deal.
“He’s got two years left on his current one at Anfield, but if nothing can be agreed on that new contract, it does open the door for Barcelona to lure him away.
“He’s 28 this year, turns 29 next January, so if Liverpool get a huge offer like that from Barcelona I’m sure it’s something they’ll have to consider.”
