Diaz was joined by several members of his family for the visit.

The trip comes amid debate over the winger’s future. Saudi club Al-Hilal want him, and they are preparing an opening offer worth 70 million euros to sign him this summer.

De la Espriella is due to take office on 7 August, succeeding outgoing president Gustavo Petro.
