I spoke with him (César Farías), and I come with great enthusiasm to give my best version and bring a lot of joy to the club.

Upon arrival, Díaz shared his excitement about joining the Ecuadorian club, known as the "Idol of Ecuador." "I spoke with him (César Farías), and I come with great enthusiasm to give my best version and bring a lot of joy to the club," Díaz stated. He recognized Barcelona SC as a major institution with a significant presence in both Ecuadorian and international football, frequently competing in the Copa Libertadores.

Díaz addressed his current physical condition, noting that his last match was on May 24. Following a brief vacation, he undertook a mini pre-season to prepare for the extended break coinciding with the World Cup. "Physically, I prepared myself a lot because the break time was quite long since the World Cup started, and now I'm going to train with my teammates and get in shape," he explained.

Highlighting his tactical flexibility, Díaz affirmed his ability to play in multiple attacking roles. "I have that virtue and ease of playing in all attacking positions up front: as an attacking midfielder, winger on the left or right, or even as a false nine. I hope to give my best version at the club," he remarked. He also acknowledged the legacy of the Díaz surname at the club, referencing the popular former player Damián “Kitu” Díaz.
