Liverpool make move for Porto and Colombia winger Diaz

Liverpool 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 plus a maximum of €15m in potential bonuses.

The 25-year-old had been linked with a move to Tottenham, who reportedly had a bid of around £38m rejected.

Diaz was Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s first choice for the summer when the asking price would have been €60 million.

Diaz has played against Liverpool twice in the Champions League this season, with Porto losing 5-1 and 2-0 in the group stages of the competition.

He’s scored 20 goals in 37 appearances for club and country this season.
