Barca Transfers and Rumors

[soul24rage]

Yeah, no way we are buying a striker in summer 2025. Ferran Torres is the backup striker.

Hopefully in 2026, we will.

 

[DonAK]

Leao is not going to cost 120m.

Italian media have been reporting they will agree to sell him for 70m.

Not that I’d buy him either. Nico maybe.

When you’re spending the amount of money you’re suggesting you don’t do it for an older winger that shits himself in the final third.

Work rate and directness is great, but you actually need to score or assist too.

 

[Porque]

I'd prefer Lookman to Diaz.

 

[Birdy]

He is inconsistent.

That is literally what nearly all Liverpool fans will tell you.

Their theory is that everything went downhill after his injury 1-2 years ago.

He is not, pal.
I have been watching more Klopp's Pool games than all of you in here combined.

People confuse end product with consistency.
He might be 'inconsistent' in that he does not score as often as he should
He is not inconsistent in creating danger, breaking lines, disorganizing defenses

Leao has a clause of 150m
No way Milan let him go for anything less than 100m

He is earmarked to be their biggest sale.
EPL clubs will pay that money for him.

Nico has only age over Diaz.
Much worse against organized defenses, and earns much more wage.

 

[Birdy]

I'd prefer Lookman to Diaz.

That might have been a clever option.

Lookman is lazy THO off the ball.
Diaz is a beast, Rapha number 2, off the ball

 

[jamrock]

Everyone just calm down, i doubt this transfer is happening and i would rather Nico.

But also we have to accept their is a tactical setup where he could work every well.

Its more a matter of age with him, as the biggest draw back.

 

[DonAK]

I would be fine if it was 40m, but 70-80m for an old winger with lack of end product is silly.

 

[khaled_a_d]

The 70M is what Juanmarti think the operation will cost, not what we will offer.
Massive difference

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

He would start over Lewa in most games
See my discussion with Jamrock above

-Lamine-Olmo-Diaz
---------Rapha

would kill under Hansi-ball

PS: Since Lewa is staying for 1 more season, we will go for top striker in 2026.
It is what it is

Donkey should be striker right now till end of season with rags his sub. Better to bring in Pedro as starter with donkey/rags his sub next season. Donkey's hold up play's only slightly better than rags and despite bayernball working this season, notice Kane has good hold-up, we need to progress in our all around level of play.

 

[Birdy]

With good negotiations, we can get it done for 55m + 10m in variables.
I don't think Liverpool sell for lower than that

As for his age, he has the age Suarez had when we signed him.
At least 4 prime years in him.

Relax everyone

 

[ZenI]

Diaz for 40ish million and we move. No fucking 70M, dude is 29 and not really appreciated by the club or fans.

 

[ZenI]

Sure Pool aren't desperate to offload him - but it seems they want a different profile player. They bought him 2022 for about 50M and he hasn't really improved much and is 3 years older now, 40M and some miner variables and that should be enough.

 

[Nucky]

Diaz for 40ish million and we move. No fucking 70M, dude is 29 and not really appreciated by the club or fans.

I highly doubt Liverpool would accept 40m for a player who is worth 85m and has a contract till 2027..

 

[TheStig]

Diaz for 30 is kinda ok but still prefer other players, Diaz for 70 is Batomeuesque. We can get Šeško + Mingueza/Garcia for that money.

Liverpool is laughing and celebrating if this is true, another Coutinho.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Sesko release clause is 70M, RB won't sell us lower than RC two years in row.
