Luis Díaz is set to complete a high-profile transfer from Liverpool to Bayern Munich, with the deal reportedly finalized at around £65.5 million (€75 million), although some reports suggest a base fee closer to £58.6 million with potential add-ons of £6.5 million. The Colombian winger, who has two years left on his Liverpool contract, will undergo a medical in Munich before signing with Bayern. This summer move follows Díaz’s keen interest in seeking a new challenge despite recently winning the Premier League with Liverpool.

The transfer marks a significant shake-up for Liverpool, who initially resisted Bayern’s advances and a €67.5m bid earlier in the summer but ultimately accepted the higher offer. Díaz had expressed a desire to leave as early as the summer of 2024, with contract negotiations previously stalling due to disagreements over wage demands. He contributed 17 goals in the last season, his most productive for Liverpool, and was repurposed by manager Arne Slot as a striker, which resulted in a career-best scoring output.

Liverpool, who paid approximately £42.5 million to sign Díaz from Porto in January 2022, view the transfer fee as full market value and plan to reinvest the funds, with strong interest in Newcastle striker Alexander Isak as a potential marquee signing. Díaz’s exit coincides with other summer departures like Trent Alexander-Arnold and signals Liverpool’s ongoing squad reshaping.

At Bayern, Díaz will likely be deployed on the wings rather than as a central striker, a role that fits their tactical plans and leverages his pace and skill on the flanks. This move mirrors the club’s recent pattern of signing established Liverpool talents, such as Sadio Mané a few years prior.

Díaz will turn 29 in January and leaves Liverpool with a respectable tally of 41 goals in 148 appearances, albeit without the prolific scoring record of some of his peers at Anfield. His time at Liverpool featured notable performances in key cup finals, even if some matches ended without goals.
