The agency is said to have responded with a staggering amount, estimated to be valued between €120 and €140 million. The number is not surprising considering his prominent position in Liverpool’s initiative and the length of his contract, which expires in 2027.

Reaching such a figure is unattainable given Barcelona’s financial demands, and Laporta informed Diaz’s agency of this. The president of Barça is said to have said, “It is not feasible.”
