Barcelona will have to pay €6 million to sign midfield prodigy, personal terms not an issue .
According to Roger Torello of Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona has set out all the details on the personal terms for Liverpool Montevideo midfielder Fabricio Diaz. The cost of his joining with the Uruguayan team has not yet been decided.
The 20-year-old Fabricio Diaz has been mentioned as a potential summer replacement for Barcelona's defensive midfield position. With his performances with Liverpool Montevideo and the Uruguayan youth national teams, the Uruguayan midfielder has been making headlines.
The FIFA Under-20 World Cup is coming up later this month, and Diaz will be watched closely because he was one of the star performances at the South American Under-20 Championships earlier this year.
Barcelona wants to finalize his contract as soon as possible because there is a chance that his stock would increase after the competition.
At the club headquarters last month, the Blaugrana met with the 20-year-old's agent. Personal terms won't be an issue either, according to the report, as those were discussed in detail with his representative.
A deal with Liverpool Montevideo is now in the works, but the Uruguayan club is holding out for a €6 million transfer fee. They have previously rejected bids of €4 million from teams like River Plate and Flamengo, and they still stand by their position.
Even though he has offers to stay in South America, Diaz is eager to relocate to Europe.
Despite the fact that the 20-year-old would be a part of the first team dynamics, Barcelona intends to sign him and send him to play for the reserve squad. Additionally, making an impact during practice could open doors for him under Xavi Hernandez.
Barça and Liverpool Montevideo, who continue to demand €6 million for the midfield prodigy, have not reached an agreement as of yet. The Blaugrana runs the danger of having his asking price increase if he performs well at the Under-20 World Cup if the deal is not finalized within the next few weeks.
