Barcelona Liverpool star Louis Diaz is closely watching, and accordingly World of sportsManager Hans Flicks has made it clear that he is a great fan of Colombian Winger for a major reason.
Even though the price of Diaz can be more than € 80 million, Flicks sees it as an ideal fit for the type of squad he wants to make in Barcelona.
What Diaz has done is his versatility. Flick learned an important lesson in this season that there are players who can suit different roles, important for success.
But BarkaThis approach is already visible. Eric Garcia was mainly used as a center-peetha, due to the injury of Jules Kunda and even as a axis.
Other players like Ronald Arujo, Fermin Lopez, Gavi, Ferran Torres and even Dani Olmo have played in roles outside their general positions under the flick.

In Liverpool this season, he has played 15 matches as a center-forward and has managed to score eight goals. They are also found twice while playing as false nine. This ability to switch to roles without losing effects is actually what flicks want.
Coaches consider strategic flexibility, and Diaz’s profile perfectly fits that plan. His ability to play both widespread and in the center gives Barcelona an attacker edge that disappears several times.
Barcelona is keeping Diaz high in its goals list, but it will not be easy to remove the deal. Liverpool gives great importance to Colombians, and it is unlikely that they will give Catalan to any favor in conversation.
Transfer may cost more than € 80 million, a fee that will require careful planning given the financial position of the club.
Nevertheless, to create a flexible, hard -working team with a flick, Diaz ticks all boxes.
