With Salah's contract extension deadlocked, Liverpool also began to plan ahead to find a suitable replacement for Lionel Messi, and they targeted Colombian international striker Luis Díaz, who played for Portuguese Super League giants Porto. According to the Italian star Skira, the deal is close to completion, and the Reds will pay a total of 60 million euros in transfer fees to bring the winger to Anfield Stadium.
Born in January 1997 at just 25 years old, Luis Díaz has amazing speed, excellent foot technique and superb shooting skills, and once shined in last year's Copa America, scoring four fantastic goals in five games and sharing the Glory of the Golden Boot with Messi and Lapadura. In the 28 games he played for Porto this season, the Colombian winger also had a stunning stat of 16 goals and 4 assists, which naturally made the giants salivate. However, the first to target Luis Díaz is Tottenham Hotspur, also from the Premier League.
In Conte's 3-4-3 formation, a good winger is essential, and when he first coached Chelsea, Eden Hazard and Pedro flew together on both wings was impressive. However, at Tottenham, Conte did not find a satisfactory candidate, and Dutch striker Berwin was on the verge of leaving the team for a while, and if he had not scored twice in stoppage time against Leicester City, he might have been sent away. And Luis Díaz is Conte's favorite player. Before that, they had spent months studying Luis Díaz's transfer. Only this time, Tottenham Hotspur got up early in the morning and set up late, and was quickly taken by Liverpool.
In fact, this time Spurs is not cut off, the Reds have begun to buy Luis Díaz as early as last year, Gruic's transfer will establish a good relationship between the two clubs, the Reds originally planned to sign colombian wingers again this summer, but Tottenham's intervention made them feel the crisis, so they have a quick shot now. The good relationship between the two teams and the Champions League games to play are all advantages of the Reds, but it is worth mentioning that Luis Díaz himself has a strong interest in joining the Reds, before which he has refused invitations from Everton and Manchester United, and these two clubs are invariably fierce enemies of the Reds.
But even so, Tottenham's delay and hesitation in the transfer have been exposed, before Conte's other favorite player, Wolves winger Traore has passed Barca's medical examination and is about to join on loan, and now Luis Dias has also declared that he has no chance, and Conte is estimated to have cried without tears. In previous coaches at Juve, Chelsea and Inter, Italian iron coach Ho has suffered from such a nest.
In stark contrast to Tottenham, the former owner Inter Milan, who was rejected by Conte last summer and left with a seal. Although after regaining the Serie A title after 11 years, Inter released Ashraf and Romelu Lukaku, the purpose of the monetary tightening was very obvious, which also led to Conte's angry departure.
But then Inter have made several inexpensive signings in a row, with free-agent Dzeko and Char Khan Olu and 12.5 million euros joining Dumfries all performing well, and now, in the face of a shortage of left wing-backs, Inter have signed Atalanta Flying Wings Gossens, who shined at last year's European Championships. The team has also shown strong competitiveness under the leadership of new coach Inzaghi Jr., and is now riding the top spot in the Serie A standings. This situation is estimated to make Conte even more depressed, knowing this, why would he condescend to Tottenham Hotspur, which has always been a search, and stay at Inter?
