Barcelona 'want Porto attacker Luis Diaz next summer'

Barcelona are reportedly ready to move for Porto forward Luis Diaz during next summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old has made an impressive start to the 2021-22 campaign, scoring five times and registering one assist in eight appearances for his Portuguese outfit.

Meanwhile, the attacker has found the back of the net on 30 occasions in 105 outings for Porto since arriving in July 2019, in addition to contributing 14 assists.

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea were both linked with the Colombia international over the summer, with Diaz's agents believed to have travelled to England for informal talks.

According to El Nacional, Barcelona are now firmly in the race for the left-sided attacker, and the Catalan outfit are keen to complete a deal during next summer's transfer window.

Diaz has scored five times and registered one assist in seven league appearances this season, while he helped his side claim a goalless draw against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on September 15.
