Luis Diaz was the biggest-named player to exit Liverpool this summer.



The attacker had entered the final two years of his deal at Anfield, and seeing as though Liverpool didn’t want to extend his stay or increase his wages, he chose to seek an exit in the summer.





Several clubs were vying for his transfer in the summer, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona the two teams that were more interested in acquiring his services.

And, although the Colombia international had the best campaign of his career throughout the 2025-26 season, it was clear that he needed to leave.

Since leaving Liverpool, the former FC Porto man has instantly hit the ground running and has quickly become one of Vincent Kompany’s most important players.

As mentioned, Diaz had the best season of his career last term, with the attacker becoming one of Arne Slot’s most important players.
