Colombian international Luis Diaz, who joined the club from Porto, Portugal, has become an integral part of Liverpool’s left wing, scoring 22 goals and 13 assists in a total of 86 games at Anfield. Although his condition was temporarily impaired, he continued to lead the attack in a team that has recently been hit by a string of injuries.
In response to the player, reports circulated that Paris Saint-Germain, with the imminent departure of French international Kylian Mbappe, is eyeing the 27-year-old winger as a replacement and has made contact in an effort to secure the Liverpool attacker.
Sky Sports, an international media, reported that a series of reports surrounding the former Porto forward were untrue and that PSG had not expressed interest. They say that this is not the profile sought by Luis Campos, the club’s sporting director, and Luis Enrique, the club’s manager.
He has scored 250 goals and 106 assists in 297 games for PSG and scored 46 goals in 75 games for France, making him one of the highest scorers in the world. With Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo having left Europe, he is the leading candidate for the Ballon d’Or.
In comparison, the Colombian national team’s scoring output is low. They are not strikers to begin with, and they often fail to finish their chances in front of goal, and often fail to sink the decisive shot. As the team’s biggest scorer, he is difficult to replace.
On the other hand, his sharp dribbling is excellent at playing off the opposing right back and setting up a breakaway. He is also a quick attacker, and he has the attitude to return to defense at all costs. Needless to say, he is one of the best wingers in the world.
Liverpool would never have released him in the first place, but now we know that his move to Paris is a false story. Will Luis Diaz be able to have a brilliant career under a new coach?
