DOUBLE TRANSFER TWIST: Perišić AND Luis Díaz Could Join Barcelona — But Financial Fair Play Will Decide

According to Mundo Deportivo’s Roger Torelló, Barcelona is considering a bold double move for Ivan Perišić and Luis Díaz this summer. The club believes both signings could coexist, but their ability to comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations will be the deciding factor.

Perišić, available on a free or low-cost transfer after his contract situations with Hajduk Split and Tottenham, is seen as a versatile and experienced squad option. His arrival would provide depth without a significant financial burden, making him an attractive target for Hansi Flick’s rebuild.

On the other hand, Luis Díaz remains Barcelona’s top priority for the left wing. The Liverpool winger is viewed as a game-changer who could elevate the team’s attacking dynamics. However, his transfer would require a substantial fee, adding pressure to Barça’s already tight finances. For both deals to materialize, Barcelona must first offload players to free up wages and transfer funds.

The club is working closely with La Liga to find flexibility within their financial constraints, but the situation remains delicate. The contrasting profiles of Perišić and Díaz highlight Barça’s strategy: blending experience with elite talent. While Perišić offers tactical adaptability, Díaz brings explosive creativity—a combination that could redefine Barcelona’s attack. Securing Díaz won’t be easy, as Liverpool is reluctant to sell.

Barcelona may need to present an irresistible offer, which could involve player exchanges or structured payments to meet FFP rules. Perišić’s potential signing, meanwhile, is more straightforward. His free-agent status and willingness to accept a short-term deal make him a low-risk addition, fitting Barça’s current financial reality. The biggest hurdle remains FFP.

Without significant sales, Barcelona risks being unable to register either player. The club is reportedly exploring exits for several squad members to create the necessary financial space. If successful, this double swoop would signal a statement of intent from Flick and Laporta. However, failure to balance the books could force Barcelona to choose between the two targets—or abandon both moves entirely.

The coming weeks will be crucial as Barcelona navigates this high-stakes transfer puzzle. Fans will be watching closely to see if the club can pull off what would be a transformative summer window. For now, the dream of Perišić and Díaz joining forces at Camp Nou hangs in the balance, with Financial Fair Play holding the key.
