Father confirms his son has chosen to sign for Liverpool An exciting South American decided to join Liverpool and his father has confirmed the decision. In the modern world, so many people have an influence over a transfer. We saw with how things unfolded with Yan Diomande. The Ivorian has confessed to being a Liverpool fan. At one point it seemed like he was open to joining the Reds. But then the influence of agents, multiple agents in fact came to the fore. First they pulled him towards Paris Saint Germain and then to Real Madrid. It was a tiring saga and at the middle of it, it's easy to forget was a 19-year-old kid with hardly any experience of senior football or this kind of situation. The case of Diomande is one Liverpool will take lessons from as they look to rebuild their squad with burgeoning young talent. Liverpool building exciting new future Over the course of the last 24 months FSG has restructured the club's recruitment department. Matt Newberry has been appointed as Liverpool's Head of Global talent, with Pedro Marques also joining from Benfica. Their mission has been to recruit some of the best young players on the planet while also increasing the club's scouting range across the globe. Since then Liverpool have had trialists from The Gambia and have signed gems from across the globe. From Mor Talla Ndiaye to Ifeanyi Ndukwe as well as Armin Pecsi, Djylian N'Guessan and Lucca Brughmans. It's an exciting period for the club, with Liverpool looking to build a new generation ready to bolster the Reds' first-team and create a squad capable of competing on all fronts. How Samuel Martinez chose to join Liverpool, his father confirms it Another exciting player coming to the Reds is Samuel Martinez. Once he celebrates his 18th birthday the Colombian wonderkid is expected to link-up with Liverpool next summer. Martinez was brilliant at the U17 Copa America, helping Colombia win the tournament and registering four assists in the process. He has been likened to Kaka for his style of play, especially because of his gait and his technical ability. Understandably a lot of clubs were interested in his services including some big sides like Borussia Dortmund. His agents or his relatives might have had an influence on his decision. But his father Jairo confirmed in an interview that is was Martinez's decision to join the Reds. “Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, Barcelona, Watford, Udinese, Chelsea, Manchester United, among others, wanted him,” Jairo told Noticias Caracol . “Every offer that came in, we would sit down, plan, and look at which options were better than the others. Samuel is the one who makes the final decision, and at that moment, he chose Liverpool."
