Luis Diaz is on his way to Bayern Munich.
The Colombian has become increasingly frustrated with talks over a contract extension at Liverpool and that has led him to consider a future elsewhere.
After the Premier League trophy lift, Diaz had initially been very much open to staying at Liverpool, expressing his love for the Premier League and that he was happy.
However, after he turned out his most impressive season to date in 2024/25, there were talks about a contract extension, but Liverpool have appeared unwilling to meet the Colombian’s demands after not seeing the immediate need to, given he still had two years left on his current contract.
Bayern Munich became the front runners to sign him early on this summer, and have continued to push to sign a top-class left winger after the departure of Leroy Sane forced them to add more depth to that area of the pitch.
The Bundesliga champions saw two bids rejected before this one convinced Liverpool to let him go.
Today, Florian Plettenberg has revealed that that there has been a breakthrough in negotiations and Luis Diaz to FC Bayern can now be considered a done deal.
An agreement between Bayern and Liverpool FC has been reached in principle after the new bid was submitted.
The transfer fee is up to €75m.
Diaz will sign a contract running at least until 2029.
The final details are now being sorted, with the medical to follow next week.
The signing of Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool was probably the nail in the coffin for Luis Diaz, as he saw his playing time at Liverpool potentially reduced after Arne Slot made it clear that Cody Gakpo was his preferred left-winger.
Luis Diaz departs the club after four successful years with the Reds in which he won the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup twice, the Community Shield and the Premier League.
