Barcelona have confirmed Hansi Flick as their new manager following the sacking of Xavi Hernandez. Flick has wasted no time in getting to work.
Hansi Flick is reportedly interested in Liverpool forward Luiz Diaz and wants Barcelona to go all out and sign the Columbia international.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Hansi Flick is an admirer of Luis Diaz. The former Bayern Munich manager wants Barcelona to convince him in the summer transfer window.
Luiz Diaz arrived in Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022 and has grown to become an important player in the squad.

The Columbia international has been able to adapt to the Premier League and has been a handy contributor in the offensive department for the Merseyside club.
Diaz has been linked with a summer move to Barcelona but Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in signing the 27-year-old star this summer.
Barcelona are considering Diaz with Raphinha and Ferran Torres facing an uncertain future at the Catalan club heading into the summer transfer window.
To make Diaz deal happen Barcelona needs to raise some fund and departure of players like Raphinha and Ferran Torres will help the club to balance the books.
It is unclear if Liverpool will entertain any offers for Diaz but the Reds new manager Arne Slot will have the final say.
Diaz amassed over 3,500 minutes of game time across 51 appearances in all competitions. He contributed to 18 goals in those outings, finding the back of the net 13 times while providing five assists.
