Transfer rumours from around Europe

Incoming Liverpool signing Luis Diaz may have already explained how he’ll improve the club’s attack – and help get the best out of new teammates Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

The Colombian forward is close to completing his £50million switch to Anfield this week as the Reds aim to wrap up an astonishing piece of January transfer business.

Diaz has made quite the impact in Portugal – so much so that his manager Sérgio Conceição is said to be ‘furious’ that Poro are letting the player leave.

And what makes the deal even more astonishing are the figures involved – proving the Reds still have a real eye for a deal, which will include Diaz’s impressive wages.

Here are Mirror Football’s latest Liverpool headlines.

Porto’s Luis Diaz is set to sign for Liverpool before the January transfer window closes

Porto boss ‘furious’

Reports coming out of Portugal suggest Porto boss Sergio Conceição is ‘displeased’ at his club’s willingness to sell star man Luis Diaz.

Liverpool will perhaps be encouraged that their new signing is the real deal by his Porto manager’s determination to try and keep hold of the player.

With the Colombian attacker currently the second-top goalscorer in Portugal’s Primeira Liga, Conceição is said to have made it perfectly clear he does not approve of the forward’s sale.

With his side currently gunning for the title, Conceição is reportedly ‘furious’ with his employers.

Diaz’s wages revealed

Despite impressing in Portugal for current club Porto, there are still question marks over whether Luis Diaz will be able to cut it in the Premier League.

With the Reds set to shell out £37.5million plus a potential £12.5million in add-ons, his signing does represent something of a gamble for Jurgen Klopp’s side, despite being able to take a good look at him during their Champions League group stage games this season.

But that gamble will be significantly lowered thanks to the impressive deal Liverpool have reportedly negotiated when it comes to the player’s wages, with reports coming out of Portugal suggesting he’ll earn less than the likes of Nat Phillips and Divock Origi.

Speaking to Marca in December 2020, Diaz explained how he sees himself fitting into sides he plays in – and says he is more than happy to focus on being a provider for his teammates.
