'I wouldn't sign him' - Barcelona warned against buying 'great player' Luis Diaz from Liverpool as ex-Camp Nou hero suggest Marcus Rashford is a smarter move

Former forward Bojan, an academy product who belonged to the club until 2014, claims Diaz is a "great player" but that he is inconsistent - and he would much rather they moved for Marcus Rashford.

Bojan told Cadena SER: "Luis Diaz is a great player but he lacks consistency in performance. If I were at Barca, I wouldn't sign him. He's a player who works wonders for you and then disappears for three games. Or he gives you a brutal half-hour and disappears.. I'd sign [Marcus] Rashford before Luis Diaz. He gives me the option to play as a number nine."

The club are searching for a forward this summer, with Robert Lewandowski turning 37 in August and the likes of Ansu Fati and Pau Victor linked with moves away. It has been reported that Diaz wants to join the Catalan club, while Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan have also been credited with interest in him.

Barcelona can win the La Liga title on Thursday evening if they beat Espanyol, securing a domestic double.
