Journalist Sergio Krithinas stated that the player's lawyer was left very 'surprised' when he saw that the contract included the Colombian international's name, especially as the winger had already signed for Liverpool.
Diaz was initially linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, however, the Porto man opted to sign for the Reds at the last minute - much to the frustration of Spurs, and delight of Liverpool.
He has scored 16 goals in 28 games in all competitions for Porto this campaign, as well as registering six assists.
Despite this, Spurs will undoubtedly be pleased that they managed to sign Bentancur and Kulusevski, even if they weren't the club's first choice signings.
They were also rejected by non-league 19-year-old winger Ollie Tanner, with Spurs unable to reach an agreement on personal terms with the player.
With Tanguy Ndombele, Bryan Gil, Giovani Lo Celso and Dele Alli all leaving the club in January, it does appear that Conte is starting to mould the squad into his liking.
