At just 20 years old, Fabricio Díaz is the main name of the Uruguayan team of the Libertadores
Liverpool-URU does not have the financial backing of the main teams on the continent, but is counting on the excellent work of its youth teams to surprise Corinthians in the Libertadores debut.
Unlike Timão, whose big stars are over 30, the Negriazules’ star player is only 20 years old. Fabrício Díaz is not only the captain of the team, but also the main cog in the midfield of Jorge Bava’s team and is already added to the call-ups for the Uruguayan national team.
However, it was at the U-20 South American Championship, scoring five goals in eight games, where he stole the show. His performances in the tournament played in January in Colombia attracted the attention of several Brazilian clubs, such as Corinthians.
Díaz’s name was brought to Timão through intermediaries and the Alvinegro-based club sought more information on the 20-year-old but ended up not formalizing an offer as they favor other sectors, such as a creative midfielder and striker.
Diaz is the great example of the prospecting and talent attraction work done by Liverpool-URU, which revealed Nicolás De La Cruz, Gonzalo Carneiro and Ignácio Ramirez. In the current team, champion of the Apertura last year, four players under 23 are trained in the basic and regular categories in Jorge Bava’s team.
