Each body: Jota s tragedy makes it difficult for Barcelona to introduce Dias again, and Rashford is expected to be considered

According to the Daily Sports Daily, it will be difficult for Barcelona to sign Luis Dias this summer and is expected to introduce Rashford.

The media pointed out that Nico Williams refused Barcelona and renewed his contract with Bilbao until 2035, forcing sports director Deco's signing plan to zero. He has wasted three weeks of negotiations and is irreversible after publicly announcing that the primary goal this summer is to bring in the left winger.

Long before Nico became Plan A, Deco's first choice was Colombia winger Louis Dias (the pursuit failed in 2024). However, Barcelona has many difficulties in introducing Dias: apart from being subject to the 1:1 fiscal rule (Nico's transfer is blocked), Liverpool's price tag is as high as 70 million euros. The situation is even worse now - Diogo Jota's tragic death makes this transfer almost impossible.

Jota's death creates a heavy competitive and emotional atmosphere in Anfield, and Liverpool will surely make every effort to stabilize the locker room. For coach Slot, Dias' tactical status is indispensable. If Barcelona seeks to buy at this time, it is no longer a matter of capital.

Deco may be forced to initiate alternatives. The third choice is Rashford: Although the 27-year-old has been with off-court controversy in his career, he has shown good form during Aston Villa. In any case, he is just a "temporary patch" planned by Barcelona's main force. Rumors in recent months also include Jorge Mendes' agent Rafael Leo (26 years old), but Joao Felix's previous lessons have reduced Barcelona's interest.

Sports management is facing unexpected difficulties: although they successfully signed goalkeeper Juan Garcia, they were rejected by Nico for two consecutive years, and there is only more than a week left in the new season. Frick's opinion will influence decision-making. Barcelona has always had many failed cases of hasty signing contracts due to public opinion pressure. The Sports Committee needs to evaluate whether it is worth taking risks in addition to Deco's favorite Dias, or suspend signings to observe the team's performance.
