Liverpool’s plans to sign Assange Diao from Real Betis are now in jeopardy as Chelsea make contact with the player’s family.
Just a week ago, a Fichajes report shared the Reds’ “plans to complete the signing of the 18-year-old”.
Mucho Depot claim Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea want him and Betis would have to sell or double his wages if a €15m offer is made.
We reported then that Diao preferred Liverpool, but a new report casts doubt on the move to Anfield.
What is the latest news on Ahsan Diao joining Liverpool? According to Estadio Deportivo, Chelsea and Newcastle have contacted his family about a move to the Premier League.
The report mentions interest from Liverpool and Manchester United, who are said to be “interested in signing him”. The 18-year-old has scored six goals in all competitions for Real Betis this season, attracting the attention of some of the world’s biggest clubs.
He is certainly an exciting player, but he still needs to improve before he becomes Liverpool’s main target. Players like Mohamed Salah will find it difficult for Dio to find playing time at Anfield.
