The permanent transfer of Colombian international forward Luis Díaz from Premier League winners Liverpool to Bayern Munich has been finalised.
The 28-year-old winger will sign a four-year contract with the Bundesliga powerhouses through 2029 in the much-anticipated transfer from Premier League team Liverpool.
Regarded as one of Bayern’s most costly acquisitions ever, the transfer fee is estimated to be over €75 million (£65.6 million), including possible add-ons.
The player will don the number 14 shirt for his new team. He made an immediate impression when joining Liverpool from FC Porto in early 2022, displaying his speed, cunning, and adaptability across a range of attacking positions.
Díaz leaves Liverpool after three and a half memorable years in which he helped the Reds win four major trophies, including the Premier League title the previous season.
Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen expressed his delight at the signing, stating, “In Luis Diaz, we have succeeded in bringing in one of the best left-wingers in the Premier League. He brings a real player character from Liverpool to FC Bayern. He’s won silverware with every one of his clubs to date.”
Díaz himself expressed his happiness about the move, saying, “I’m very happy; it means a lot to me to be part of FC Bayern—it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. I want to help my new team with my way of playing football and my character. My goal is to win every possible title, and that’s what we’ll work for every day as a team.”
