Manchester City Dismiss Reports of £60m Deal for Liverpool’s Luis Diaz
Manchester City have categorically denied reports that they have agreed a deal with Liverpool to sign Colombian winger Luis Diaz for £60m. The rumors, which emerged earlier today, suggested that the Premier League champions were willing to pay the hefty sum for the 27-year-old star.
However, City officials have moved quickly to shut down the speculation, with journalist Fabrizio Romano quoting sources at the club as saying there is no truth to the claims.
The rumors had suggested that Diaz, who has been impressive for Liverpool since joining from Porto in 2022, was bound for the Etihad Stadium. But City’s denial of the reports means that Diaz is likely to remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future.
Diaz has been in fine form for Liverpool, scoring twice in their 4-1 victory over Sevilla at Anfield on Sunday. His performances have led to speculation about his future, with reports suggesting that he could be a target for clubs in the Saudi Arabian Pro League.
Despite his impressive form, Diaz has struggled to replicate the goalscoring form of Sadio Mane, who he replaced at Anfield. However, with 24 goals in 98 games for the Reds, Diaz has still been an important player for the club.
With City’s denial of the reports, it seems that Diaz will remain at Liverpool for the time being. However, with the transfer window still open, it remains to be seen whether other clubs will make a move for the talented winger.
