The father of Liverpool attacker Luis Diaz has talked up a future move to Barcelona.

Diaz is being celebrated across South America today after his double for Colombia in their World Cup qualifying win against Brazil on Thursday.

He has been linked with Barca in the local press and father Luis Manuel told WIN Sports: “[The] truth is that I know very little about Barcelona at the moment.

“It is true that Luis is a loyal Barcelona fan and it would be his dream to go there. So far I would like to thank Porto and Liverpool for the way they welcomed him and received him.

“Luis is a player who finds it easy to win over because of the way he is, because of his humility, his work, his dedication, he is a very disciplined player, thank God. There would be no problem if Luis came to Barcelona because it is a top team and one of the best in the world."
