Liverpool: Arne Slot wanted to keep Luis Diaz

Liverpool sold Colombian forward Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich last summer for €70 million. According to Indykaila News, manager Arne Slot was not on board with this decision.

The Dutch coach wanted to continue relying on his dependable striker this season, but the Reds’ management opted to accept the offer from the Munich club. With numerous reinforcements arriving this summer and the need to generate revenue, the sale was approved.

Liverpool director Richard Hughes is understood to have overruled manager Arne Slot on the sale of Luis Diaz during the summer. Diaz ended up leaving Liverpool to join Bayern Munich despite being a key player for Slot’s side as they won the Premier League title last season.

Now, this decision seems to be backfiring on Liverpool. Diaz is shining at Bayern in a high-performing squad, while Liverpool are going through a rough patch and Slot’s position is under threat.
