Liverpool became unexpected big movers in the January transfer market when they completed the signing of Colombian star winger Luis Diaz from FC Porto, paying a £37.5M transfer fee plus a potential additional £12.5M in bonuses as they swooped to steal the pacy forward away from Tottenham Hotspur days before the window slammed shut.
Diaz, a late bloomer who didn’t join his first club in Colombia until the age of 18, has put pen to paper on a five-and-a-half year deal reportedly paying him £90k per week through the summer of 2027. While the player may not be expected to start straight away, he is expected to become a key member of the Reds’ attacking unit in the coming years as the club seek to rebuild an aging core.
