Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus has sent a blunt reminder to Luis Diaz after the Colombian left Liverpool for the Bavarian giants.

The forward called time on his Reds career last week as he signed for the Bundesliga outfit in a deal worth up to £65.5m.

The 28-year-old made his first appearance for Bayern last weekend, coming off the bench to win a penalty as they beat Lyon 2-1 in a pre-season friendly.

But despite the promising start to his time with the Bavarians, Bayern legend Matthaus has shot down Diaz by pointing out he was not the German outfit’s first-choice target as he took aim at the club’s sporting director, Max Eberl.

“FCB sporting director Max Eberl still has a lot of work to do…” he told Sky Germany.

“After the transfer of Luiz Diaz, Max Eberl said: ‘At the moment, we're very happy with our squad; we've done our work for now’.

“Diaz is a good player, but he wasn't the first choice for that position.

There are still things you'd like to do, both on one side and the other.”

After signing Diaz, Eberl said: “Luis Díaz is a player with international experience, enormous quality, terrific skills and great reliability who will help our team immediately.

“We're delighted we've been able to bring him to FC Bayern.

He's already performed at the highest level."

Bayern had an initial transfer enquiry and offer rejected by Liverpool prior to agreeing a £65.5m deal.
