Liverpool's squad was overhauled in the off-season, with Diaz among the key players from last season to move on to a new club. And while Diaz has flourished at Bayern Munich, his old club has failed to hit the heights it scaled last term, with Reds head coach Slot coming under scrutiny for the team's recent struggles.

Among many things that the Reds are currently missing is Diaz's directness in attack, and Caught Offside is reporting that his exit came as a disappointment to Slot. Diaz's deal was due to expire in the summer of 2027, but he was significantly underpaid relative to his standing in the squad, and the 28-year-old was keen to secure a lucrative deal at this stage in his career.

Diaz is believed to have more than quadrupled his salary with his move to Bayern, and the Bavarian club is being rewarded for showing faith in the former Porto star, with Diaz having registered 11 goals and five assists across 18 appearances in all competitions.
