Liverpool signed Luis Diaz before Barcelona, according to Joan Laporta

With the addition of Ferran Torres, Raphinha, and the retention of Ousmane Dembele, Barcelona now has a large number of wide forwards to choose from. Ansu Fati is also currently making his injury comeback.

However, Ez Abde, who is currently on loan at Osasuna, was Barcelona’s wide forward leader about a year ago. Barcelona President acknowledged that they were interested in Luis Diaz at a charity event for ACNUR in Colombia, a group that works to address the refugee crisis and whose logo appears on Barcelona’s uniforms.

We had just arrived at the club at that point, but Liverpool got there first. There was a time when we were debating signing him, but we still had a financial crisis to address and reverse, so they jumped ahead of us.
