Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have officially struck a €75 million deal with Liverpool to sign Colombian winger Luis Díaz, bringing an end to one of the summer’s longest-running transfer sagas.
After weeks of back-and-forth negotiations, the two clubs have agreed on a package that will see Bayern pay €70 million upfront plus €5 million in easily achievable add-ons. The 28-year-old attacker is now expected to undergo his medical in Germany after being excused from Liverpool’s pre-season tour in Japan.
Medical and Personal Terms Imminent
According to reliable sources close to both camps, Díaz has already agreed personal terms on a four-year deal that will run until June 2029. His move to the Allianz Arena is being treated as a top priority by Bayern, who are rebuilding their attacking line following several key departures.
The Colombian is expected to earn around €14 million annually, making him one of the club’s top earners alongside Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich.
Díaz’s Liverpool Legacy
Luis Díaz joined Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022, quickly becoming a fan favourite at Anfield. Known for his direct dribbling, flair, and explosive pace, he played a crucial role in Liverpool’s 2024/25 Premier League title win, scoring 17 goals and providing 8 assists in all competitions.
Despite still having two years left on his contract, Liverpool opted to cash in after Díaz expressed interest in a new challenge. The Reds are now reportedly eyeing potential replacements, with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams linked as possible targets.
Bayern’s New Era Begins
Díaz’s arrival marks another major signing in Bayern’s ongoing squad overhaul. With Leroy Sané departed and Jamal Musiala battling injury setbacks, the Bundesliga heavyweights were in urgent need of elite wide options.
This deal also signals Bayern’s intent to reclaim domestic and European dominance after a trophyless 2024/25 campaign. Club insiders say Díaz will likely start on the left flank, complementing Harry Kane and Serge Gnabry in a fearsome front three.
What This Means for Liverpool
For Arne Slot, this is both a tactical and financial shakeup. The €75 million influx boosts Liverpool’s transfer budget, paving the way for fresh attacking blood. The club’s new-look era under Slot is gaining momentum, with Díaz’s departure offering both risk and reward.
