Bayern Munich finalized a £65.5 million agreement to acquire Colombian winger Luis Diaz from Liverpool. The German champions increased their initial £59 million proposal after Liverpool rejected the first offer. Multiple reports confirmed the transfer on Sunday. Diaz received authorization to depart Liverpool's Asian pre-season campaign for his Bayern medical examination. The 28-year-old attacker contributed 17 goals across 50 matches during Liverpool's title-winning campaign under Arne Slot.
Porto sold Diaz to Liverpool during January 2022, where he secured Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup trophies. Bayern requires attacking reinforcement following Jamal Musiala's serious injury at the Club World Cup. Liverpool excluded Diaz from their 4-2 friendly loss against AC Milan amid transfer speculation. Manager Slot acknowledged ongoing discussions while declining detailed comments about the player's situation. The Reds have actively pursued multiple signings this summer, acquiring players from Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bournemouth, and Valencia.
