Liverpool Considered Bold Transfer with Man City Involving Luis Diaz

Negotiations for a Major Player Exchange

Reports have emerged suggesting that Liverpool contemplated an audacious transfer arrangement with Manchester City, which would have involved Luis Diaz departing Anfield while Julian Alvarez would join the Reds last summer.

According to information from The Telegraph, Diaz, 28, expressed a desire to move to Pep Guardiola’s squad after learning of their interest.

Reluctance from Liverpool

Although Liverpool appeared hesitant to approve the transfer, they explored the possibility of acquiring Alvarez, who is 25 years old, as a part of this exchange.

The story further reveals that Manchester City quickly dismissed Liverpool’s inquiry, as they were unwilling to let Alvarez strengthen a competitor within the Premier League.

Alvarez’s Successful Move

Alvarez eventually made a switch to Atletico Madrid, with reports indicating the deal was completed for around £82 million. He had an impressive season, netting 29 goals and recording seven assists in 54 appearances.
