Every day more suitors arrive for Luis Díaz. The Colombian winger had a great Copa América and a great start to the 2021-2022 season, which has led several important clubs in the Old Continent to set their eyes on the Colombian. Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Atlético de Madrid or Chelsea are some of those interested.
As reported by FourFourTwo on its website, the team that wants to take Diaz is Newcastle. In October he would have already shown interest in the extreme, but now it is a necessity. “Eddiw Howe’s team desperately needs backup to boost their survival and they will probably get stronger on the field, with Diaz providing threat in the last third,” he says.
The magpies team is ranked 19th in the Premier League with 11 units. At the moment he is one of the three relegated, but is two points behind Watford, the first club to be saved at the end of the season. Although the arrival of Kieran Trippier from Atlético de Madrid seems imminent, the need to strengthen the offensive part is key.
According to the portal, another option to arrive in January is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Arsenal forward has had some personal problems and with the coach, Mikel Arteta, which led him to lose the captaincy and a place in the starting XI.
Porto plans to retain Díaz, but knows that there are “irrefutable offers”
In an interview with O Jogo, the president of Porto, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa spoke about the situation of the Colombian, in which he assured that he hopes Luis Díaz will stay at the club, but he knows that he cannot compete against the checkbooks of the European giants.
“I can not guarantee, nor stop guaranteeing [que Díaz sólo se vaya por el valor de una cláusula]. Only circumstances can dictate that. Our wish is for everyone to stay, it is not just Luis Díaz. But it is clear that sometimes there are irrefutable proposals that allow us to hire new players later, “said da Costa.
The Colombian is currently isolated from the rest of the team, as he tested positive for a coronavirus prior to the match against Benfica and has not yet recovered. He will not be able to be in the next duel of the dragons against Estoril for the 17th date of the Primeira Liga.
