Barcelona are now looking for some alternative options and are considering Liverpool\u2019s Luis Diaz. Bayern Munich are also interested in the winger and Liverpool have already closed the doors for both these clubs. However, the deal could still happen in the future. Marcus Rashford is another name in Barca\u2019s list after Nico deal off.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona\u2019s long-standing interest in Nico Williams has come to a disappointing end, with the Spanish winger reportedly signing a new deal with Athletic Club in secret, effectively rejecting the Catalan club\u2019s proposal. Despite weeks of contact between Barcelona and the player\u2019s representatives, the move has collapsed, forcing the Blaugrana to consider alternative options in the transfer market.<\/p>\n<p>Luis D\u00edaz has emerged as one of the top names on Barcelona\u2019s radar. However, the Colombian winger is also attracting interest from Bayern Munich. Liverpool, though, have made it clear that D\u00edaz is not for sale this summer, closing the door to both clubs\u2014at least for now. Despite this stance, the transfer saga could take a new twist if D\u00edaz pushes for a move or if Liverpool receive a significant offer.<\/p>\n<p>Another name being discussed at Camp Nou is Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. The England international had a difficult season at Old Trafford and is being monitored closely by Barcelona as they aim to bolster their attack following the Nico Williams setback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The contacts between Barcelona and Nico Williams\u2019 camp is over after the forward signed a new deal secretly and rejected the offer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":36075,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[661,3686,3918,1823,3796,3919,2262,1139,4015,3881],"class_list":["post-15666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-barcelona","tag-david-ornstein","tag-english-premier-league","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-football","tag-la-liga","tag-luis-diaz","tag-marcus-rashford","tag-nico","tag-nico-williams"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
