Barcelona attempted to complete the signing of Luis Diaz from Liverpool this summer, prior to him sealing a move to Bayern Munich instead. “He started preseason well, but then things didn’t go his way, and he also suffered injuries that made things very difficult for him.

But we lacked that profile in the squad,” he said. Luis’s move, it turned out, would be impossible.” Are Liverpool missing Diaz this season?

Diaz was always a slightly divisive figure at Liverpool, with some thinking he was elite – Jurgen Klopp called him “really special” – but others of the opinion that he was never quite a world-class footballer. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
