'How did Liverpool buy Luis Diaz?!': Legendary Argentine manager Alfio Basile questions why Jurgen Klopp spent £50m on the Colombia star and claims he didn't do 'ANYTHING' in recent World Cup qualifiers

A former coach of Argentina has questioned Liverpool's decision to sign Luis Diaz in the January transfer window.

The 25-year-old made the move from Porto to Anfield last Sunday for a fee of £37.5million which could rise to £50m.

Diaz - who will wear the No 23 shirt at Liverpool - met Jurgen Klopp for the first time on Friday following international duty with Colombia.

But it was not a productive international break for the winger, who played the full 90 minutes in Colombia's 1-0 defeats by Peru and Argentina on Friday last week and on Tuesday this week respectively.
