Tottenham Hotspur is trying to improve their forward this January window, and with only a few days left for clubs to make additions, the north London club is looking to swing for the fences.
Sky Sports reports Tottenham is willing to offer £37.6-million upfront for FC Porto forward Luis Diaz, with an additional £8.4-million in performance-related add-ons. However, the proposal falls short of what the Portuguese club wants for the 25-year-old.
Porto wants £50.2-million for the Colombia international, who has scored 16 goals in 26 appearances thus far this season. However, there are no further details as to whether Tottenham will come back with an offer that’s close to what the Dragões are asking for when it comes to Diaz.
Nonetheless, suppose Diaz is someone Tottenham has high on their transfer wish list. In that case, they’ll face some competition as Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol told The Transfer Show that Tottenham is not the only English club interested in Diaz.
Liverpool and Manchester United also eye the forward, who has two and a half years left on his contract with Porto.
