Rejected Barcelona s acquisition! Liverpool said on the surface that Diaz was not a product, but actually marked him with a price

At around 17 pm this afternoon, famous reporter David Ornstein revealed that Barcelona officially proposed to Liverpool to acquire Dias this Wednesday, but was immediately rejected by Liverpool. The report is as follows:

--Liverpool has rejected Barcelona's proposal to discuss signing Dias and informed the La Liga champion that Dias is not for sale.

--The 28-year-old Colombia international joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022, with the contract term to the summer of 2027. It seems that it is unlikely that the two sides will renew the new contract.

-This has led to many rumors that Dias left Liverpool, and Barcelona contacted Liverpool this Wednesday to discuss the possibility of introducing him.

--But Liverpool's official reply was very clear, with Barcelona and its sporting director Deco being immediately informed that the team had no intention of trading the team's roster members planned for the coach Slott next season.

--Diaz attracted interest from Manchester City last summer, and some teams in the Saudi League also favored him. However, Riyadh Crescent's pursuit of Manchester United's 30-year-old captain B Fee helped Liverpool determine Dias' market value.

--28-year-old Dias played a key role in helping Liverpool win the 20th Premier League championship and has not shown any willingness to leave the team so far. Unless his or Liverpool's position changes, the club is happy to allow him to complete the remaining 24 months of contract (after leaving the team as free agent).

-Liverpool's new management, led by Sports Director Richard Hughes and Fenway Group Football CEO Edwards, tried to resolve Dias' contract issues - but no progress has been made.

- Given Diaz's age, their current priority is to maximize his competitive value—even if it means leaving the team as a free agent two years later—unless Liverpool receives a sufficient offer to sign a substitute of the same level or higher. How to interpret this report from DO?

Liverpool's position on Dias is, on the surface, a non-sale product, but in fact, it tells all interested parties that only a high enough price will be considered for sale.

The important information is that "Riyadh Crescent's pursuit of Manchester United's 30-year-old captain B Fee helped Liverpool determine the market value of Dias." So how did Riyadh Crescent chase B Fee? According to previous reports, Riyadh's new moon acquisition of B fee is £100 million transfer fee, with a total contract value of £200 million in three years, equivalent to a weekly salary of £700,000.

Obviously, Liverpool believes that if a 30-year-old player, who ranks 15th in the Premier League, has such a market value, then the forward value of the 28-year-old champion team can only be higher! This is equivalent to publicly marking a price for Dias!

And, is Liverpool really willing to let Dias leave for free in two years? The answer is obvious.

The following will be pushed by me this morning. Some appendixes about Dias are as follows:

[Liverpool's attitude towards Dias is intriguing]

Last night, a report about Dias with the Times reporter Joyce was intriguing:

"Liverpool has not received any offer about Dias, and is not actively seeking to sell the Colombia striker. However, Liverpool has no plans to open contract renewal negotiations with Dias. The latter has two years left in the contract and will be 29 years old in the middle of next season."

A player with two years left in the contract has neither actively sought a sale nor a renewal plan. What does this mean?

From the club's perspective, when the player's contract has 2 years left, it is generally considered to be the ideal time or the latest time for renewal, because once the player's contract is only 1 year left, the club will be very passive if they want to renew the contract. See the difficult renewal negotiation process of Arnold, Van Dijk and Salah.

If the club has no plans to renew Dias' contract with him while he has two years left, then this shows the club's attitude towards Dias' future in the team.

Considering the fact that the player will be 29 years old next season, we can interpret this report of Joyce: Although the club has not actively sought to sell Dias, if it receives a high enough offer, Liverpool will also consider selling.

Joyce also mentioned that Saudi team Riyadh victory is said to be preparing to offer 85 million euros (£71.53 million) to acquire Dias. If Liverpool really receives such a offer, do you think the club will consider selling Dias?
