Liverpool winger Luis Diaz will not be joining Manchester City this summer, according to a key update from reliable journalist Sam Lee.
The Colombian joined the Reds back in January, injecting much-needed life into their season, which culminated in them nearly winning an unprecedented quadruple.
Since then, Diaz has been a good signing overall, even though a knee injury curtailed his progress in 2023/23 and he has received some criticism for some erratic end product.
On Tuesday, a shock rumour emerged suggesting that Diaz could make the move from Liverpool to City this summer, in what would be a hugely controversial piece of transfer business.
Taking to X, though, The Athletic‘s Lee poured cold water on the rumour, caliming that there is “no truth” to it whatsoever:
“Understand there is no truth in the Luis Diaz links. That was genuinely fun for 15 minutes.”
“What a boy, what a story, what a player but he should have scored! He agrees probably. The speed he has is insane. He gets our football 100 per cent. We thought we saw that at Porto. He fits like a glove to our football and that’s really really special.”
