Good Morning Eds,

Liverpool are being linked with Luis Diaz of FC Porto and I was wondering,

1, If Liverpool have any real interest in him?

2, Would a possible move, depend on moving one of Salah, Mane, Firmino on?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - 1. Yes, I have explained. 2. It is dependent on something else.}

Hi Ed002, would it be possible for a move to be sorted in January, or is Summer much more likely? I just don't see Liverpool being able to find the funds in this window.

{Ed002's Note - I rather doubt Porto would be open to selling now unless someone forced the situation - which requires an €80M cash payment and the player to agree.}

Hi Ed - sorry if i am repeating the question or information is below but i couldn't find it.

Is the something else - that Porto own 80% of the player and need to own 100% before they can sell?

{Ed002's Note - Yes but they have been looking to strike a deal with Junior and will do before the summer.}

You a fan ed2? Highly rated but Portuguese football isn’t a league i keep up with.

{Ed002's Note - There is no doubt he is a talented player and he is scoring goals from LM in a 4-4-2 but the price is very high and it is difficult to see how he will naturally fit in at Liverpool unless utilised as a LW.}

Thanks Ed for the info. €80M cash payment is all I need to read lol as we don’t have a penny. I will file this one away with the others mate.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool would need to borrow or perhaps sell (like other clubs do) to raise the money.}

Higher price with a deferred payment again, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - That is not how Iberian buy out clauses work.}

You may have just opened up another line of questioning there Ed02, once we all figure out what Iberian means 😉.
