Ahead of Bayern move: Diaz confirms transfer talks with top club | OneFootball

Luis Díaz transferred during the past summer transfer window for nearly 75 million from Liverpool FC to the German record champions. The Colombian has now revealed that, besides Bayern, he was also in concrete contact with other clubs.

Diaz was not only on Bayern Munich's wish list, but other top European clubs were also vying for the winger. After his Champions League debut in Bayern's jersey during yesterday's 3-1 victory against Chelsea, Diaz confirmed that FC Barcelona was interested in him over the summer.

"I am very happy to be at this great club. There were talks with Barça, as is common in the market, with several teams," the 28-year-old explained on Movistar+. This was the first time he officially confirmed that Barcelona was in the race, even though the transfer ultimately went to Munich.

For Díaz, the decision was clear in the end: The winger chose to move to Germany – and has not been disappointed so far. His start at Bayern Munich has been successful. In his first six competitive matches, he has already scored four goals and provided two assists, a testament to his quick adaptation to coach Vincent Kompany's team.

Also in the Champions League, his chapter began promisingly. During the 3-1 victory over Chelsea, Díaz made his debut in the Champions League for Munich and celebrated a successful start. "I am very happy about the victory, it meets our expectations. Such a start is important to keep the team calm. Now it's time to rest," the offensive player continued.

Focus on the Future at Bayern Munich

Díaz justifies his choice for Bayern with a rational decision for his career. "I am very satisfied with this decision. I have objectively decided for my future, and the most important thing is that I come to a great club. So I will try to give my best," he emphasized.

For the German record champions, the transfer of Díaz is already a win. The Colombian not only brings speed and goal threat to the wing but also experience from the Premier League and Champions League. The fact that he chose Munich as his new home despite Barcelona's interest further underscores Bayern's attractiveness in European competition.
