Luis Diaz set to undergo Liverpool medical

Liverpool’s latest signing Luis Diaz will reportedly undergo his medicals in Argentina ahead of his move to Liverpool. The winger is currently with his national team, who will face Argentina in a FIFA World Cup CONMEBOL qualifier.

The reds have agreed an initial fee of £37.5million with Porto for Luis Diaz, and that could rise to £12.5 million, based on his on-field performances.

The 25-year-old is expected to join Jurgen Klopp’s squad after Colombia’s qualifier in South America on 2 February 2022.

Liverpool FC shows interest in Matheus Cunha

Liverpool FC have been keen on improving their attacking department despite the absence of both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. Luis Diaz might not be the only player Liverpool could sign in January, as the club are keen on a late swoop for Atletico Madrid’s Matheus Cunha.

Cunha signed for Los Colchoneros in the summer of 2021, but unfortunately, he has not been a regular for the club. The Brazilian has started just three times in La Liga so far this season.

Athletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone prefers Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suarez, and Joao Felix over the Brazilian. As per Spanish outlet AS, Liverpool believes Cunha could suit their style of play.

However, the Rojiblancos might not listen to any offers for the player as they see Cunha as a long-term option under Simeone.
