Speaking to Cadena SER, Mane Diaz said: "When he left Porto I was not aware that there was anything positive with Madrid clubs. I heard things, but I never knew if there was anything else. With Liverpool everything was more precise.
"The directive was more precise for Luis to arrive there. It was hoped that he could come here [to Spain]. Radamel Falaco had already been there, James Rodriguez too... In the end it didn't happen, but don't give up hope yet. He is playing and the clubs are active."
