Barcelona midfield ace comments on club’s pursuit of Nico Williams, Luis Diaz – ‘The best should play for Barça’

July 2, 2025

Barcelona attacking midfielder Dani Olmo has sparked fresh speculation about Luis Diaz’s future by calling the Colombian a world-class talent.

Speaking to Jijantes, Olmo said, “He’s a really great person and a world-class talent, and at Barcelona, the best players should play.” His words have only added to the growing excitement among fans who want to see Diaz at Camp Nou.

Although Barcelona are currently focused on signing Nico Williams from Athletic Club, Diaz has always been on their radar. In fact, before Barcelona renewed their push for Nico, Diaz was the club’s priority target.

The Catalans had hoped that Diaz’s agent would put more pressure on Liverpool to clear the way for his exit. But with his representative staying quiet, Barça shifted their attention back to Nico Williams.

Adding more fuel to the transfer talk, Olmo and Diaz were recently spotted together on holiday in Ibiza.

Their meeting has raised eyebrows, with many wondering if Olmo was trying to convince Diaz to join him at Barcelona.
