After weeks of speculation and emotional goodbyes, Mohamed Salah has now spoken publicly about Luis Diaz’s high-profile summer move.

Luis Díaz joined Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022 for a reported €49 million fee.

He made 148 appearances for the club, scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists across all competitions.

In his first half-season, Diaz played a key role in helping Liverpool win both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup, while also reaching the Champions League final and finishing just one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League.

Injury setbacks limited his 2022–23 campaign, but he bounced back strongly and remained a key figure over the next two seasons.

In his final year at Liverpool, the 2024–25 season, he played a crucial role in the Reds’ Premier League title-winning campaign, contributing 13 goals and 7 assists in 36 appearances.

Earlier this week, Liverpool confirmed his move to Bayern Munich for a reported fee of €75 million, closing the chapter on a successful spell at Anfield.

Mohamed Salah took to Instagram to send a heartfelt message to Luis Diaz following his move to Bayern Munich.

The Egyptian forward praised Diaz’s impact at Liverpool, both as a player and a person.

“Your energy, drive, and passion on the pitch have left a mark that won’t be forgotten.

We were truly lucky to have you at Liverpool, and it’s been an honour to share part of your journey and success story.”

“As a teammate, you were more than reliable — you were inspiring.

That kind of resilience sets an example for others and earns nothing but respect.”

“Wishing you all the best for what’s next, Lucho.”

Salah’s words reflect the admiration many at the club feel for Diaz, who quickly became a fan favourite during his Anfield spell.
