Luis Diaz has spoken for the first time since leaving Liverpool after completing his move to Bayern Munich.

The winger’s transfer to the German champion was confirmed on Wednesday, with the Reds reaching an $88 million agreement with Bayern following talks.

Liverpool had been adamant that Diaz was not for sale earlier in the summer, having knocked back previous approaches from Bayern and Barcelona.

Diaz leaves Liverpool having scored 41 goals for the club since his arrival from Porto in January 2022, and having played a big role in last season’s Premier League title win under Arne Slot.

The Colombian had been linked with an exit last year before speculation grew again this summer, with Diaz informing Liverpool of his desire to move on.

He was left out of the Reds’ pre-season games against Preston, Stoke and AC Milan before a deal was completed earlier this week, with Liverpool set to gain a profit of around $30M on what it paid Porto three-and-a-half years ago.
