The father of Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has talked up a move to Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid.

Mane Diaz admits Luis would like to follow the footsteps of Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez.

He told Radio Marca: "Thanks to God and the trust that Professor Klopp has given to Luis. He hasn't done badly. The team had 70% of the forwards in the main squad injured and he contributed what was necessary for the club to stay in the fight for the Premier League. The aspiration is to win the league.

"When he left Porto I was not aware that there was anything positive with Madrid clubs. Things were heard, but it never came.

"Who knows if there was something else. With Liverpool everything was more precise. The directive was more precise for Luis to get there."

He added: "It was hoped that he could come here (Madrid). Falcao had already been there, James too... In the end it didn't happen, but hope is still not lost. He is playing and the clubs are active."
