Luis Diaz chose Liverpool over two other interested European heavyweights, including Jose Mourinho’s Roma, because of the Reds’ ‘elite’ status among the cream of the crop.
The Rossoneri rescued a point on Wednesday evening at the San Siro as they played host to FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League. Luiz Diaz came back to haunt Milan, scoring the opening goal after just five minutes here, as he did in the reverse fixture a couple of weeks ago in the 1:0 Porto victory.
After taking care of few roles, Roma will attempt to sign an offensive winger. They have shortlisted Porto’s Luis Diaz and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Filip Kostic. However, both players have rich price tags, and they have to sell Pedro first. They will look to exploit José Mourinho's connection with his old club, they will need to open up the wallet to get the Colombian international.
Roma are focusing their efforts on Matias Vina to fill the void opened by the injury of Leonardo Spinazzola. They have made an offer to Palmeiras, but they need to raise it to seal the deal. After finding a new left-back, the Giallorossi might add a winger. Porto's Luis DIaz and Borussia Moenchengladbach's Marcus Thuram are on their radar, but they are expensive.
