While their trio of star attackers are out of contract in June 2023, Liverpool have decided to break the bank to afford the Colombian from FC Porto Luis Diaz.
Sadio Mané (29) and Mohamed Salah (29) at the African Cup of Nations and at the end of the contract in June 2023, like their friend Roberto Firmino (30), Liverpool decided to anticipate and strengthen this winter in attack. Thus, the Reds have put nearly 60 M€ (45 M€ + 15 M€ bonus) on the table to afford Luiz Diaz (25 years old).
The Colombian international (31 caps, 7 achievements), also tracked by Tottenham, is having his most accomplished season since joining FC Porto in 2019. The Cafetero, certainly the best player in Liga Bwin since the start of the year, is the current top scorer in the championship (14 pawns).
dream season
Twirling, dribbler and now very effective (we must add 4 assists to his record), the native of Barrancas convinced the Scousers to bet on him and will therefore strengthen a sector where the linings Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino, if they were of service , were far from up to the usual three holders. With Luis Diaz, Jürgen Klopp holds, on paper, a reinforcement of choice for his attack. Porto and Sergio Conceição, for their part, recover a sacred fortune which will allow him to find solutions to compensate for his departure.
“Liverpool Football Club have completed the signing of Luis Diaz from FC Porto, subject to the successful granting of a work permit and international clearance. The 25-year-old has signed a long-term contract with the Reds after passing a medical and finalizing personal terms. Diaz will arrive on Merseyside once he completes his international duty with Colombia, who face Argentina in a Cup qualifier in Cordoba on Tuesday night. He joins Liverpool after two and a half seasons with FC Porto, where he made 125 appearances and scored 41 goals, and will wear shirt number 23., specifies the press release from the Reds.
