Since the Spanish media revealed that Barcelona scouted Luis Diaz while he still played for FC Porto, they’ve been trying to find the reasons the player ended up at Liverpool instead.
Some new quotes on this situation are now brought by Marca, who cover an interview that Bojan Krkic Sr. gave to Cadena Ser.
The former Barcelona scout confirmed that they had been keeping an eye on the Colombian winger while he played for Porto. He pointed out that many flaws convinced the Catalan side not to go for him, leaving the path open for Liverpool to get his signing.
“That’s what happened to him, also at Porto. That is to say, he does the best and the worst, well not the worst, but he’s a player who has a great game and the next one he’s not there.”
Those are some strange comments from Bojan Krkic Sr., especially because he probably wouldn’t like someone to go in the media and criticise his son, who was once a promising star at Barcelona and recently retired in Japan at the age of 32.
Marca still recovers some old interviews from Diaz and his dad where he claimed that he’d like to play for Barcelona. That was long before he joined Liverpool, where he seems to be happy and paying off the trust they had in him.
