Reliable journalist David Ornstein has confirmed that Luis Diaz is set to move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich in a deal worth over €75 million (£65.5m / $88.1m). Diaz, 28, has been given permission to travel to Germany for a medical ahead of signing a proposed four-year contract with an option for an additional year at Bayern Munich.
This transfer marks a significant change in Liverpool's attacking lineup, prompting the club to look for replacements. Liverpool’s top target to fill the void left by Diaz is Real Madrid’s 24-year-old forward Rodrygo, who has impressive statistics of 68 goals and 51 assists in 270 appearances. Rodrygo’s versatility in playing across the front three is seen as an upgrade and aligns well with manager Arne Slot’s tactical preferences.
Rodrygo has been linked with moves away from Real Madrid this summer, with Tottenham also reportedly interested. However, Madrid's high asking price remains a barrier for potential suitors. Meanwhile, the funds from Diaz’s sale are expected to support Liverpool in pursuing other targets, including Newcastle United’s striker Alexander Isak.
The Liverpool squad, currently on their pre-season tour in Tokyo, are adjusting to this major transfer development. Diaz is set to finalise his move imminently, which will accelerate Liverpool’s recruitment plans ahead of the new season.
