Porto Winger Luis Díaz Signing Lucrative Transfer Deal with Liverpool
by privatebet.com - 2022/01/30
January transfer window is about to close, and Liverpool is sealing one major deal ahead of Monday’s deadline. They are looking to sign a transfer deal with the Porto winger Luis Diaz, reportedly worth €45 million. It was reported that Díaz agreed to the five-year contract with the Reds, which includes €45 million upfront, plus a maximum of €15 million in potential bonuses. The Colombian player is currently on duty with his national team, and he’s set to undergo a medical in Argentina, where he’s playing a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday. It was crucial for Liverpool to score this deal because they’re at risk of losing Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah. Their current contracts are set to expire at the end of next season, and the Reds needed some sort of insurance if they decide not to renew them. Díaz joined FC Porto in 2019, for a reported fee of €7 million, and quickly became one of the team’s key players. He had an impressive showing during the 2021-22 season, scoring 16 goals and registering six assists in 28 appearances. This adds to the total of his 41 goals and 19 assists in 125 appearances with FC Porto since joining the team.
