Atletico Junior, Luis Diaz’s former club, have filed a complaint with FIFA as they are yet to receive the first payment of the fee they are owed from his move to Liverpool from FC Porto.
LIVERPOOL’S most recent superstar, Luis Diaz, has hit the ground running in English football, but all is not as rosy as it appears off the pitch.
The Colombian star, who helped the Reds lift their first silverware of the year last weekend, is at the centre of a financial dispute involving his former clubs. According to Colombian club Atletico Junior, Porto FC have yet to give them the €12 million owed to them from the massive deal with Liverpool in January. Junior sued and Fifa ruled that Porto must pay up within 45 days.
This ongoing situation, however, is only the tip of the iceberg. Beyond it lies even more problematic details of Diaz’s trajectory to top-flight English football.
