Despite having performed well, he lost his starting position in 2024 and underwent surgery to correct an inguinal hernia. For him, São Paulo’s proposal represents an excellent opportunity for a fresh start.
Díaz expressed his excitement upon arriving at one of the most traditional clubs in Brazil. “It was a dream since I was young to get here (at River), but today I have to take a step aside and follow another path, so the feelings are kind of bittersweet. I’m arriving at one of the biggest in Brazil with my batteries recharged, so I want to give 100% to achieve all the objectives”, said the defender, in an interview with Argentina’s ESPN. However, from the middle of the year onwards, the player will face competition from Wendell, who has already signed a pre-contract with São Paulo. The left-back position has been a point of concern for the club, especially after Welington signed a pre-contract with Southampton. Currently, the team has Patryck Lanza, whose performance in 2024 was hampered by an injury.
