Luis Díaz is on the verge of completing a high-profile move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich in a deal reportedly worth around £65.5 million (€75 million), including performance-related add-ons. The Colombian winger, who joined Liverpool in 2022, is set to sign a four-year contract with the German champions, with the option to extend for an additional year. His medical is expected to take place in Munich within the next few days as Bayern finalizes personal terms and administrative formalities.
Bayern had initially seen lower bids rejected earlier in the summer, but remained persistent in negotiations. Liverpool, though initially reluctant to sell, began to soften their stance after contract renewal talks with Díaz stalled. The player is also said to be interested in the move, particularly with the prospect of a more prominent role in Vincent Kompany’s rebuilt Bayern side.
Díaz enjoyed a strong 2024–25 season at Liverpool, scoring 17 goals and providing 8 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions. His departure is a significant loss for Liverpool, especially after the club’s recent return to Premier League title contention. However, the sale provides substantial funds as Liverpool look to reinvest in their squad, with names like Hugo Ekitiké, Malick Fofana, and Alexander Isak reportedly being monitored as potential replacements.
For Bayern, Díaz fills a major void on the left wing following the exits or injury concerns around Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman, and Serge Gnabry. At 28, he brings both experience and immediate impact to a Bayern side eager to reassert dominance in both the Bundesliga and Champions League.
The move is being seen as one of the marquee transfers of the summer, and all signs point to Díaz being unveiled as a Bayern Munich player within the week.
