A theme of daily conversation is being the signing of Luis Díaz for Barcelona, or permanence in Liverpool.

During this Friday's press conference, the coach, being consulted by the interest of the Spaniards at their end, said: “Each club has its way of doing things.”
“I think they are accustomed to the fact that I do not talk about players from other clubs that we have not signed,” he added showing signs of not being comfortable with the proceeding of Barcelona.
And entering directly to refer to the case of Guajiro, Slot took Deco's last words to say: “I understand that a great admirer of Luis Díazbecause I am too. He is a great player who is having a great season. ”
After that, he put some irony to his response by mentioning two players of the rival squad that would also seem good to add to Liverpool.
“If I had simply said it, he is also an admirer of Salah and Gakpo. Or hasn't he said? He just said he admires some players. I admire Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, ”he completed his Slot message.
