Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is on the verge of completing a transfer to Bayern Munich for a fee reported to be around £65.5 million. Diaz, who has two years remaining on his Liverpool contract, was part of Liverpool's pre-season tour in Japan but has now left the camp to travel to Munich where he is expected to undergo a medical and finalize his contract with Bayern.

The initial reported fee was £65.5 million, but German media outlet BILD has since specified that Bayern will pay a flat fee of approximately £58.6 million, with the potential for an additional £6.5 million in bonuses. Liverpool originally paid around £42.5 million for Diaz, making this transfer a significant profit for the club.

Diaz had pushed for a move despite Liverpool's reluctance to sell a key player in the midst of their summer preparations. Attempts to extend his contract failed, and having helped Liverpool secure their 20th Premier League title, he expressed his desire for a new challenge. The club, having ensured they received full market value, agreed to the transfer.

This sale follows the £10 million departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold and is expected to free up funds for Liverpool's ongoing transfer activity, particularly in pursuit of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. Isak, who has requested to leave Newcastle, has not traveled with his team for their Asia pre-season tour, fueling speculation of a move to Liverpool as the club looks to strengthen its squad.
