“They asked me about his behaviour off the field” –former Liverpool star reveals the Reds consulted him before signing Luis Diaz from FC Porto
Liverpool FC have been impressed with the signing of the Colombian international Luiz Diaz with credit given to Ex red’s midfielder Marko Grujic who revealed that the Reds consulted him before signing Luis Diaz from FC Porto in January.
Speaking to The Athletic, the Serbian international claimed his ex-employers Liverpool FC came to seek his advice after Porto were beaten 2-0 at Anfield in November.
The 25-year-old said:“Some people from the club asked me what Luis was like as a person. They asked me about his behaviour off the field. I told them that he was a great guy who would fit easily into any group of lads. I also spoke a bit with Luis about Liverpool. Luis was very happy that a club like Liverpool were interested in him.”
Grujic, who was the first-ever signing made by Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, could make just 16 appearances for the Merseyside club.
However, He mostly spent most of his five-year spell on loan away from the Premier League giants, including a stint with Porto.
The Portuguese giants eventually triggered the option to buy him permanently last summer following his impressive showings in the middle of the park while on loan.
Grujic also Having spent almost 18 months with Luis Diaz in the same team, the Serb knows the Colombian closely. Grujic also stated that losing a key player midway through the season was a huge blow for Porto. The Serbian midfield dynamo said:
“As players, we didn’t expect it to happen. It all happened so fast after Luis went away with the national team so we didn’t get to say a proper goodbye to him. We will miss him so much because he’s a great player. He scored a lot of important goals for us.”
