Spanish coach refused to let go of the Colombian and receive Luis Díaz in exchange
In recent years, James Rodríguez’s name has been associated with a return to FC Porto in practically every transfer window. In the summer of 2021 it was no different and a possible deal with Everton, which also involved Luis Díaz, was stopped by… Rafa Benítez. The person who revealed everything was Marcel Brands, at the time the Tofees’ sporting director.
“In the summer of 2021 we tried to sign Luis Díaz from FC Porto. I was working hard to get James Rodríguez to return to FC Porto as part of the deal to take Díaz. Rafa Benítez was against it, because he wasn’t sure about Luis Díaz”, said the now president of PSV Eindhoven, in an interview with ‘AD Sportwereld’. Díaz later ended up going to Liverpool and James is now at São Paulo.
