Pass by! Telegraph: Liverpool proposed to replace Spider with Dias last year, but was rejected by Manchester City

According to the Telegraph Reds' team Bascombe, Liverpool had asked Dias to buy Alvarez last year, but was rejected by Manchester City.

The reporter said that Liverpool realized last summer that Louis Diaz wanted to go to Manchester City. The recruitment team proposed to capitalize on Manchester City's interest in Diaz in exchange for Alvarez.

But Manchester City was very tough and replied with only one sentence "We don't sell to competitors", so the deal failed.

In the end, Alvarez was sold to Atletico Madrid by Manchester City for 75 million, and Liverpool also sold Diaz to Bayern for 70 million.
