Luis Diaz Shares Emotional Farewell Message After Sealing Move to Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Luis Diaz Bids Emotional Farewell to Liverpool With Poignant Message

Departure Marked by Genuine Emotion

As Liverpool began their pre-season preparations in Yokohama, a message from 5,900 miles away brought a wave of emotion to the fanbase. Luis Diaz, now officially a Bayern Munich player following his £65.5 million transfer, used the moment to say goodbye in a message that echoed with sincerity and heart.

Posting on Instagram just as Arne Slot’s side were stepping onto the pitch in Japan, the Colombian international offered words that resonated with everyone connected to the club. His farewell was not scripted nor manufactured. It was the expression of a player who fully embraced Liverpool and its people.

“Three-years-and-a-half that I’ll treasure forever. I arrived with all the dreams in the world, and I am leaving proud of everything we achieved together,” he wrote.

Legacy Built on Commitment and Class

Signed from Porto in January 2022, Diaz swiftly became one of Liverpool’s most reliable performers. He lifted the League Cup, FA Cup and most recently, the Premier League, under new manager Arne Slot. His tally of 17 goals in 2024/25 underlined both his productivity and importance, even as competition on the left wing intensified.

There were stretches where Cody Gakpo was preferred, but Diaz never withdrew. Instead, he remained the embodiment of commitment, energy and flair. His departure was always going to feel significant, but it is his final words that truly underline what he meant to the club.

Farewell Carries Tribute to Jota

In a particularly moving moment, Diaz honoured former teammate Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away earlier this year. His tribute offered a glimpse into the deep bonds that existed within the squad.

“It would have been the perfect goodbye if we hadn’t lost one of ours in such a tragic way,” Diaz wrote. “As I said, and I repeat, I carry everyone with me in my heart, but one of them in particular: Diogo. I will never forget him. We will never forget him.”

That sentiment will not be lost on the Liverpool dressing room or supporters. Diaz’s message reinforces that football is far more than contracts and transfers. It is about people, connection and memory.

What Comes Next for Club and Player

With Hugo Ekitike now part of Liverpool’s squad and further interest in signing Alexander Isak, the competition for attacking places was always likely to increase. The timing of Diaz’s departure, then, is as practical as it is emotional.

Yet it does not make it any easier to accept. The player who arrived with ambition now leaves with medals and memories, not just for himself but for those he played alongside.

Now in Bavaria, Diaz starts a new chapter with Bayern Munich. But his parting words will remain etched in Liverpool’s modern story. His humility, empathy and passion made him a favourite. His farewell message confirms he will be remembered with affection and respect.
