Mohamed Salah has paid a heartfelt tribute to Luis Diaz after the forward left Liverpool to sign for Bayern Munich.

Liverpool had wanted to retain the forward’s services but reluctantly sanctioned his exit after failing to reach a compromise on a new contract, with Diaz making it clear he wanted to move on.

The 28-year-old made 148 appearances during three and a half seasons at Anfield, scoring 41 goals and registering 16 assists.
