Luis Diaz is now on the verging of signing for Bayern Munich after four hugely successful years with Liverpool.

It has been reported that a £65.5m deal has been agreed between the German side and Liverpool that will see the Colombian depart Merseyside and sign a contract until at least 2029 with the Bundesliga champions.

Long-standing uncertainty has come to an end today and that can now allow Liverpool to accelerate other deals for attacking targets.

Arne Slot had not yet played Luis Diaz in Liverpool’s pre-season so far, as he sat out games against Preston North End, Stoke City and AC Milan.

A decision that was made by the manager following confirmation that the Colombian wished to depart the club this summer.

Back in the winter of 2021, Liverpool agreed a deal with Porto to sign him for 45million euros plus add-ons.

4milllion of those add-ons have been triggered, bringing his total cost to 49m.

Ben Jacobs has revealed a genius move played by Liverpool’s technical director Julian Ward at the time that will put Liverpool in a great financial position as they look to acquire more talent this summer.

Jacobs has reported that there was no sell-on clause included in the deal that saw Luis Diaz arrive from Porto in 2021.

Julian Ward ‘refused’ to grant one at the time.

As a result, Liverpool are making a sizeable profit off the sale of Luis Diaz, and that will come as a source of comfort for the hierarchies at the club that they are doing the right thing in letting the Colombian go.

No sell-on means that Liverpool will not have to pay Porto anything as Diaz departs to Munich.

Alexander Isak to Liverpool is gathering traction, as the Swede is confirmed to stay at home whilst the rest of the team and Eddie Howe embark on their pre-season tour of South Korea.

With Luis Diaz’s departure confirmed and more money coming into the club with no sell-on included, it will free up some funds to enable Liverpool to be more comfortable with spending what is sure to be in excess of £100m for Isak.
