After the opening of the European winter transfer market, Liverpool has not had many substantive transfer rumors.
After winning the Premier League title, Fenway Group was not too concerned about throwing money to attract reinforcements, and perhaps the Reds fans were desperate in their hearts and did not believe that the team would have reinforcements in the winter window.
However, at the node where the winter window is closed in 3 days, a number of reliable media and Liverpool reporters confirmed that Uncle Scum's team is expected to sign Porto's main striker Luis Diaz, with a transfer fee of up to 60 million euros.
In this way, Liverpool has not shot, and one shot is the king of explosion. The Premier League's winter window king is flying over Anfield.
"The Athletic" Liverpool reporter James Pearce reported that the Reds are close to completing the deal and are about to sign Porto striker Luis Diaz.
David Ornstein, another authoritative reporter for The Athletic, updated the details of the deal, and Porto agreed to sell Luis Diaz for 60 million euros (including additional terms). The 25-year-old Colombian striker has received a lot of attention from clubs and Spurs want to sign him, but the offer from Anfield makes it difficult for players to refuse.
Portugal's "Record" pointed out that Liverpool sent Porto a base offer of 45 million euros + a prize clause of 15 million euros, with a maximum value of 60 million euros. Tottenham's offer is similar to Liverpool's, but Liverpool's appeal is far superior to Tottenham's, with the Reds and players reaching out on individual terms. On Thursday night local time, Liverpool and Porto also reached an agreement.
Diaz has played 28 games for Porto this season, contributing 16 goals and 6 assists. Among them, the Portuguese Premier League scored 14 goals, ranking second in the top scorer list; 39 key passes for all players 2nd, 46 passes 3rd, 5 single-game bests, 7.9 points first.
Another Liverpool reporter, Paul Joice, also posted that Liverpool were ready to sign Luis Diaz for £50 million (60 million euros).
Sky Sports, the famous transfer reporter Romano, etc. have also issued articles, which can basically confirm that Liverpool have no suspense in signing Díaz and can be officially announced at any time.
Luis Diaz is an important reinforcement for Liverpool's forward line, the Red Arrows have been working together for many years, Firmino's form has declined significantly in the past two seasons, Mane and Salah will also turn 30 years old, and whether they can be renewed is also unknown. Sooner or later, the Reds' attacking line will have to be renewed, and it is a reliable choice to plan ahead, but whether Luis Diaz can play at a high level depends on whether he can adapt to the Premier League.
