The claim is City - then in the Premier League - did not push the deal through and Porto later came in and took the player:

"It turned out to be a huge missed opportunity by Cardiff as Diaz would excel for his two-and-a-half years in Primeira Liga, becoming a £50m player in the process.

Liverpool will still feel they have got themselves a bargain as they paid significantly less than Porto's asking price, but it remains a massive 'what if' for the Bluebirds as they currently sit just outside the relegation zone in the Championship."

Anyone remember this?
