According to Fernando Polo we're considering selling Raphinha to buy Luis Diaz. Hopefully BS.
Would be a lateral move at best that wouldn't improve team much if at all. Also, Raphinha has already adapted to the club and Diaz would probably need a year or two and by that time would already be 29.
And I'm also scared of buying Liverpool players after the Coutinho disaster.

Ndidi is actual again...

El Barça mantiene a Ndidi como opción para el pivote
La prioridad es Mikel Merino, pero el área deportiva debe decidir sobre el medio del Leicester

Diaz would suit us much better than Raphinha. Especially if Flick plays with a normal LW which holds the width and not like a left SS as Xavi played Raphinha.

Should we go for Thiago if he is ready to play for a very low salary? I know about his injuries but he is still class when avaliable, he knows the club, he knows Flick and his system perfectly, he could help as a transletor and a mentor for the kids. If we won't get a higher quality DM than he could be an addition as a rotational piece.

Yes but his production wouldn't be that much better than Raphinha's if at all. Diaz is far from a goal scoring winger too. So don't think team would be anything better swapping Raphinha for Diaz and financially wouldn't benefit from this deal either.
And absolutely NO to Thiago. Look at his injury history, Dembele looks like an ironman compared to him.
Thiago Alcántara - Injury history
This is the injury history of Thiago Alcántara from Karriereende. On this page injuries as well as suspensions.
If we want him as a mentor and translator then he should retire and become assistant coach as was rumoured few weeks ago (but since then there were reports Heiko Westermann who has played few years for Betis will be part of Flick's staff). We shouldn't waste any wages and squad spot on him as a player.

The difference is that Diaz can play as a normal LW while Raphinha can't. If Flick won't use him as Xavi did Raphinha will be useless since he can't play wide (especially at LW). The "left wing" position of Raphinha of last season is closer to a SS or a 10 than a normaln LW.
If we won't extend Felix' loan and not bring back Fati (we shouldn't either) than we will need aditional winger even if Raphinha stays. But that will probably someone a lot cheaper than Diaz/Nico. In ideal world Yamal, Raphinha and Diaz/Nico rotate but we all know that won't happen.
The Thiago idea is just if he's willing to play for a salary like Roberto or Felix but not in a sense that we relay on him as a midfielder. He could do a job there when he's healthy and he would be very useful as someone who understands both Barca and Flick. It's been 12 years since I'm rooting to bring him back, this is my last chance.

Raphi has been our best man last season with Gundo, selling them would be stupid as fuck 🦧

Flick considera a Raphinha un futbolista clave
Según informa 'Sky Sports Alemania', el brasileño está en una alta consideración para el técnico germano, que cuenta con él al 100% a expensas de las necesidades del club en el mercado

Flick isn't having it
