Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' reported that FC Barcelona sees Brazilian Rodrigo, a player for Real Madrid, as a key to facilitating the signing of Colombian star Luis Diaz, a winger for Liverpool, during the current summer transfer window.

The newspaper clarified that Liverpool is showing strong interest in acquiring Rodrigo to bolster their attack this season, given his exclusion from coach Xabi Alonso's plans at Real Madrid, which may prompt the English club to expedite the sale of Diaz to ensure necessary liquidity.

Barcelona places Luis Diaz at the top of their priorities to strengthen their attacking front, with great confidence in the player's desire to move to Camp Nou, especially as he prefers playing for Barcelona over any other offers he has received from major clubs.

Barcelona continues to work on reducing the cost of the deal and reaching a suitable agreement with Liverpool, while awaiting the outcome of the latter's negotiations with Real Madrid regarding Rodrigo, who could become his direct replacement at Anfield.
