Bayern Munich have officially signed Colombian winger Luis Díaz from Liverpool in a deal worth £65.5 million, including add-ons. The 28-year-old has agreed to a four-year contract with an option for a fifth and will wear the number 7 shirt at his new club.
Luis Díaz joined Liverpool in January 2022 and quickly established himself as a key player with his speed, skill, and ability to change games. He helped Liverpool win both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup and played in the 2022 UEFA Champions League final. His contributions on the wing added depth and dynamism to Liverpool’s attack, and his departure marks the end of an important era at Anfield.
Díaz expressed his appreciation to Liverpool supporters and said he was grateful for the time spent at the club. In his first words as a Bayern player, he stated that he is looking forward to the new challenge and is determined to win trophies with his new team.
The move is also significant for Bayern Munich, who have been eager to strengthen their squad following a season that fell below expectations. Bayern had several bids rejected before reaching the final agreement with Liverpool. Sporting Director Max Eberl praised Díaz as a top-level player who fits the club’s philosophy and will bring fresh energy to the team.
For Liverpool, the transfer fee makes this one of the club’s most lucrative sales ever, behind only those of Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suárez. The funds are expected to support further squad rebuilding under new manager Arne Slot as Liverpool prepare for the new Premier League season.
Luis Díaz’s transfer to Bayern marks one of the biggest moves of the summer and sets the stage for what could be a defining period in both clubs’ campaigns.
