Real Madrid are set to battle it out with Barcelona for the signature of 26-year-old Liverpool winger, Luis Diaz, who is having a great season so far on the field.
As per reports from Fichajes, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both keen on adding Luis Diaz to their ranks. The two Spanish giants have been closely monitoring the Columbian winger for a while now.

Diaz joined Liverpool from Porto in the winter of 2022 for a fee of €45m. The Columbian international has gone from strength to strength since joining the Anfield club. He has 24 goals in 62 games for the Reds.
In fact in the current season itself, Diaz has appeared in 15 matches and has scored 5 goals. This is impressive, particularly considering the off-field burden that he had to endure.
