Colombian media: Barcelona sets the first week of August as a deadline, and decides whether to advance Dias transfer before that

According to Colombian media Antena 2, Barcelona regards the first week of August as a deadline for deciding whether to advance Dias' transfer.

Diaz's contract with Liverpool will expire in June 2027, but there has been no substantial progress in renewal, which has also caused the possibility of his transfer to surface.

According to Germany, Bayern is considering introducing Dias to strengthen the wing, especially in the context of Koeman and Musiara's absence due to injuries and their condition has fluctuated. This is not the first time Bayern is interested in Dias, but with Slot's role in the team changing after coaching Liverpool, Bayern's interest heats up again.

However, reports from Spain revealed that Barcelona may withdraw from the competition for Dias. Although sports director Deco admired the Colombia winger very much and proposed to introduce Dias in internal meetings to strengthen the left offense, the players' high value and the club's limited financial situation became the biggest obstacles in practice.

It is reported that Liverpool's valuation of Dias is around 75 million euros, and Barcelona executives believe that this price is too expensive for a player over 27 years old.

Therefore, Barcelona has set the first week of August as a deadline to decide whether to advance Dias' transfer. Whether to take action will depend on the club's financial situation, the progress of the player's sales, and whether it can agree with Liverpool on more flexible plans, such as loan or installment payments with buyout options.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is also evaluating other more controllable alternatives, such as Rashford, which has declined at Manchester United, or Atlanta striker Lukeman, who has performed well in the UEFA Cup, all seem to be feasible and cheaper options.
