In a different life, Luis Diaz could very well be lining up at Anfield this weekend as an Everton player.
As time ticked away for Rafa Benitez during his only transfer window as Everton manager, the prospect of signing Diaz was explored at Goodison Park.
With Benitez keen to shift the high-earning James Rodriguez off the wage bill, a swap deal that would also see the Blues pay £21m to Porto for Diaz was reported in late August.
