Official | Luis Diaz joins Bayern Munich from Liverpool for €75m | OneFootball

Bayern Munich have announced that they have completed the signing of winger Luis Diaz from Liverpool.

Diaz joins the Bundesliga champions for €75m including potential add-ons, making him their third biggest signing ever after Harry Kane (€100m, Tottenham) and Lucas Hernandez (€80m, Atletico Madrid). Diaz signs a contract at Bayern until 2029, and it is reported that he will earn €14m per year at the Allianz Arena.

On joining Bayern, Diaz said: “I’m very happy, it means a lot to me to be part of FC Bayern – it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. I want to help my new team with my style of football and my personality. My goal is to win every possible title – we will work towards that every day as a team.”

The 28-year-old joined Liverpool in 2022 from Porto for €49m and played a key role in the club’s quadruple run that season, which saw them come away with the FA Cup and Carabao Cup whilst also losing in the Champions League final. On top of this, Diaz also won the Premier League this season.

Diaz is Bayern’s second signing of the summer following the arrival of Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer.

Bayern tried to sign both Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams before ending up with Diaz. The Colombian will be the replacement for Leroy Sané, who left Bayern earlier in the summer to join Galatasaray on a free transfer upon the expiry of his contract.

The next step for the Rekordmeister is to try and complete the signing of Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart; however, the Swabians continue to make life difficult for Bayern when it comes to negotiating a price.
