Arne Slot has spoken about replacing Luis Diaz after the Colombian completed his move to Bayern Munich this Wednesday.

The 28-year-old was reportedly unhappy at the Merseyside club, as he might have expected a pay rise following his performances last season.

FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich were the two clubs interested in him, but the Spanish giants decided to back off as they didn’t want to pay the amount Liverpool demanded.

Bayern Munich then automatically became the favourites.

Liverpool is, indeed, a special team, and I will keep everyone in my heart.

It’s good to be leaving with the feeling of a duty fulfilled, and, most of all, to be leaving a champion.
