However, according to an exclusive story covered by Simon Mullock, published in today’s edition of The Mirror (press image provided below), Liverpool have agreed a five-year deal with the Colombian that will make him earn £90,000 a week (£4.68million a season).

So, the entire worth of the five-year contract is around £23.4million. The renowned journalist has claimed that Egyptian superstar, Mohamed Salah, is still demanding a mammoth deal worth £400,000 a week and the Reds are continuing to play hardball.

As far as the transfer fee for Luis Diaz is concerned, Mullock states that Porto were looking for a huge amount of £83million but Julian Ward, the new transfer specialist, managed to bring the price down to £50million.

It is only a matter of time before the official announcement is made.

The 25-year-old star has netted 16 goals in all competitions this term and his departure would be a huge blow for the Dragons, who currently sit at the top of the Liga Nos table.
