Liverpool wants Porto winger Diaz
The Reds are trying to sign Colombia winger Luis Diaz from Porto in the current transfer window.
The deal, if completed, is expected to be worth €45m (£37m) plus a maximum of €15m in potential bonuses.
Liverpool were planning to wait until the summer but changed their stance as it became clear that Diaz could move
elsewhere if they did not act.
The 25-year-old had been linked with a move to Tottenham, who reportedly had a bid of around £38m rejected.
Diaz was the Reds boss Jurgen Klopp’s first choice for the summer when the asking price would have been €60 million (£49.9m).
However, the proposed move is far from straightforward as Diaz is currently with his national team.
Diaz has played against Liverpool twice in the Champions League this season, with the Dragons losing 5-1 and 2-0 in the group stages
of the competition.
