Mohamed Salah's replacement in Liverpool .. a Colombian player with 60 million pounds

It seems that Liverpool is insisting on finding an alternative to the Egyptian international, Mohamed Salah, in anticipation of not reaching an agreement with the player during the negotiation between them or making up for his absence at other times, such as being in the African Championship, for example, where the British newspaper “The Sun” reported the news of Liverpool approaching the contract. With one of the best talents in Europe last year, the Colombian Luis Diaz, the Portuguese player of Porto and Lionel Messi's rival, the Copa America top scorer.

And the news published on the English website stated that the deal, which is expected to compensate for the absence of the players Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane during their participation in the African Nations Cup that will be held in Cameroon during the period from January 9 to February 6 2022, is estimated at 60 million pounds for the star player. Last season, at the age of 24, Diaz was crowned top scorer for the 2021 Copa America, jointly with Argentine star Lionel Messi, with 4 goals each, and scored 12 goals in the Portuguese League this season so far.

The Colombian player played two matches with Porto against Liverpool in the Champions League group stage, which makes him well known to the team coach, German Jurgen Klopp, and the report stated that Diaz's contract includes a penalty clause in his contract worth 67 million pounds, but Liverpool hopes to obtain player at a lower price.
