While the talent scouted and developed by the likes of Barcelona and other elite European teams is often thought to be quoted as the very best in the world. However, there are definitely exceptions to such statements and beliefs.
Some of the very best in Europe over the years have been South American prodigies who have arrived from the likes of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay among other nations.
Barcelona themselves have enjoyed splendid success with the help of players from South America, with the immortalized trio of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez still remembered to this day.
As per the latest report by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Fabricio Diaz is a 20-year-old midfielder who currently plays for Uruguayan outfit Liverpool Montevideo and has recently shown his ability to an extreme at the Under-20s FIFA World Cup, where his nation, Uruguay, triumphed in the final.
The Uruguayan midfielder, courtesy of his great performances this season, has begun to attract the interest of European clubs. Barcelona are one of such sides that are reportedly interested in the 20-year-old, whose asking price has also been recently confirmed.
According to the words of Liverpool Montevideo chairman, Jose Luis Palma,
His price is €8 million. It is likely that he will be sold in August.
Through this statement, it can be understood that the final asking price for the Uruguayan midfielder will be €8.5 million, a figure that while Barcelona are considering, the information from inside La Blaugrana suggests that they will only look into a transfer operation for Fabricio Diaz after other priority operations have been settled.
