However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, known for his reliable updates with his signature phrase "Here We Go," has poured cold water on the speculation.
Romano indicates that City’s sources have denied any agreement with Díaz, casting doubt on the transfer’s validity.
Why Man City might be interested in Luis Diaz?
With Julian Alvarez’s recent move to Atlético Madrid, Manchester City is actively searching for a replacement.
Díaz, who has impressed with his performances, including a standout display in Liverpool's recent 4-1 pre-season victory over Sevilla, is reportedly on City’s radar.
The 27-year-old, who returned to the Reds' pre-season training last week, is under contract with the Merseyside club until 2027, as noted by This Is Anfield.
Amid growing interest from Barcelona and PSG, Liverpool might look to offer improved terms to secure his long-term future at Anfield.
