Liverpool have torn up their regular January transfer window script to leave them on the verge of a big-money swoop for Luis Diaz - a deal which could have far-reaching consequences for their established forwards..
The Reds have agreed a £50million fee to sign the Porto star, beating Premier League rivals Manchester United and Tottenham to his signature.
The deal will comprise an initial sum of £37.5million with a further £12.5million in add-ons, meaning Liverpool are landing the player for much lower than his €80million (£67m) release clause.
