Luis Díaz has officially swapped Merseyside for Munich, completing a £65.5 million move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich from Liverpool — and ending a saga that’s been brewing since last summer.
The Colombian winger underwent his medical in Bavaria on Tuesday, just a day after saying his goodbyes to teammates at Anfield, where he made a lasting impression over 148 appearances, bagging 41 goals and countless nutmegs.
From Porto to Premier League Star – and Now Bavaria Bound
Díaz joined Liverpool from Porto in 2022 and quickly became a fan favourite for his flair, work rate, and trademark cut-ins from the left. But the writing had been on the wall for some time. He first expressed a desire to leave last summer, and while Liverpool held firm, they couldn’t keep him forever.
The club made two separate attempts to extend his contract, but talks broke down as the gap between offer and expectation proved too wide to bridge.
Bayern Get Their Man – On the Second Try
Bayern Munich initially came in with a £58.5m offer, which Liverpool rejected. But the second bid — £65.5m including add-ons — did the trick. Cue the medical, the selfies in Bayern gear, and a new chapter in Díaz’s career.
With his move now complete, Díaz joins a growing list of Premier League stars heading to the Bundesliga — and Bayern fans will be expecting fireworks on that left flank.
What’s Next for Liverpool?
While Liverpool now have cash in the bank, they’ve lost a key figure from their frontline. Replacing Díaz’s creativity and drive won’t be easy — and fans will be watching closely to see who fills the void.
One thing’s certain: Luis Díaz is ready for a new challenge, and the Bundesliga just got a little more electric.
