Claims from England saying Liverpool will attempt to sign Diogo Leite from Porto have arrived to Portugal as a big threat to the club.
The Dragons aren’t happy they’re losing Diogo Dalot to Manchester United, and having another youngster leaving for the Premier League would come as a big blow for them.
That’s why Porto are expected to be tough when negotiating for the defender, at least according to what A Bola writes on Monday.
Leite has a €25m release clause, which isn’t very big for current market standards, so that’s what the Portuguese side will be demanding for the transfer.
As the claims from England said Liverpool would offer €15m, then the clubs would have to work a bit more to find an agreement.
Still, the Reds’ attempt to get Leite is seen as a big threat, and A Bola sounds optimistic that the move is possible.
Liverpool are described as a pretty good destination for the youngster, not only for money, but also for the club’s project. So it seems it’s a matter of finding a deal with Porto now.
