Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl might have tied his future to how his move for former Liverpool winger Luis Díaz plays out, but it is very clear that he believes that the Colombian is the missing link in the team’s attack.

Two weeks ago, Díaz completed a move to the Bundesliga champions for a reported £65.5m fee — a significant profit on the £37.5m initial outlay Liverpool made when signing him from FC Porto in January 2022. Including achievable add-ons and a sell-on clause, the total return could approach £90m, according to reports.

Luis Diaz joined Liverpool in January 2022 in a £37.5m deal but has left with two years remaining on his contract; the Colombian also attracted interest from Barcelona but moves to Vincent Kompanys Bayern Munich;

Diaz made 148 appearances in all competitions across four seasons at Liverpool, scoring 41 goals and registering 23 assists.

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s talisman and one of the most iconic players in world football, rarely rushes to social media. But when he does speak, every word lands with purpose. His farewell message to Luis Diaz was long, heartfelt and deeply revealing.

Luis Diaz was full of praise for Harry Kane as the pair both scored to win their first trophy together in the German Super Cup for Bayern Munich.

Liverpool have sold a fair few members of their first-team squad this summer, with Arne Slot undergoing a complete overhaul of his team. The Reds have spent well over £200million on new arrivals, with players such as Luis Diaz exiting for a fee worth around £65.5million.

Florian Wirtz headlines the 2025/26 summer transfer window with a record-breaking €125 million move from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool, becoming the seventh most expensive player in football history.
