Luis Díaz's possible signing for Barcelona continues to generate expectation in Spain. Although from England they ensure that Liverpool works in the renewal of the Colombian end, the interest of the Catalan club has not disappeared.
Deco, sports director of Barça, confirmed that strengthening the end position will be a priority in the market, and both he and coach Hansi Flick have publicly expressed their taste for the player.
While other names like Marcus Rashford seem to have lost strength, Díaz's remains a real option.
Rapinha: “I'm not afraid”
However, the operation does not look simple. The economic situation of Barcelona and internal competition for that place in the eleven holder are factors to take into account.
Rapinha, current owner of the left lane of the Barca attack, was consulted by rumors in an interview with Sports Worldand made it clear that he is not worried about the possible arrival of the Colombian: “I don't care about anything, I really are not afraid,” the Brazilian replied bluntly.
Far from being worried, Rapinha supported his performance of the season: “With the importance I have had this season, I will not say that I am an absolute player in the team or that I will never leave any game, but anyone who arrives will have to work much more than me. I think I do very well.”
Despite that challenging message, Rapinha also left a space for self -criticism and collective work. “The more high level players and committed to the team we have, it is the most important thing; whoever plays or not, I don't care. What matters is to get, work well and look for your space,” he added.
The Brazilian did not close the door to a healthy competition, but made it clear that he is willing to defend his place if Luis Díaz arrives at the club.
