Liverpool could have been one top winger short last term after it was revealed that Luis Diaz had agreed a switch to Barcelona.
This comes courtesy of Gerard Romero’s Twitch channel (via Barca Universal), with the reporter noting that the £37.5m man’s switch to Catalonia was ended by Financial Fair Play rules, which prevented the Spanish giants from signing the Colombian.
The former FC Porto attacker went on to agree a switch to Anfield after the Merseysiders gazumped Tottenham to the addition of the pacey wide man.
Three cup finals and a Premier League title missed by a couple of points, it’s fair to say that Diaz has been a roaring success at L4, helping revitalise an ageing front-three that has since seen Sadio Mane depart.
A few years back, losing top stars to the Spanish top-flight would have been the norm, and even if a move was prevented due to financial reasons, it’s refreshing to see FFP exercising its teeth.
Have this FFP set up ever thought of having a look at Man City, just in case they were hiding anything??? Heaven forbid!!
Some time back, I think it was stated on TIA that once we landed Diaz that there would be many worms crawling out of the woodwork to say that they were on the brink of landing Diaz. This has proved correct. Bottom line – who cares! Diaz is playing for LFC and is happy here so…..put a sock in it!!!!
👌🏼Well said pal
