Diaz claims that Wirtz expressed enthusiasm about his potential transfer to Bayern Munich
Luis Díaz Joins Bayern Munich in Third Most Expensive Signing
Luis Díaz, the Colombian forward who shone at Liverpool, has completed a permanent move to Bayern Munich. The transfer, reportedly worth around £65.5 million (€75 million approximately), makes Díaz the third most expensive signing in Bayern's history.
Díaz, who will wear the number 14 jersey, has signed a contract that will keep him at the Allianz Arena until June 30, 2029. The move comes as Bayern seeks to strengthen their attack following key departures and injuries.
Díaz, known for his pace, trickery, and versatility in attacking positions, made a significant impact at Liverpool during the 2021-2022 season. He made 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring 17 goals and providing 8 assists, contributing to the club's success, which included winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and two League Cups.
Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, described Díaz as a highly skilled and reliable international player expected to provide immediate impact. Financially, Díaz is expected to earn about €14 million before taxes, a significant raise from his Liverpool salary, indicating Bayern's strong commitment despite their usual aim to reduce payroll.
Díaz's move to Bayern was motivated in part by advice from Florian Wirtz, who left Bayer Leverkusen to join Bayern Munich in June. Díaz mentioned that Wirtz told him the Bundesliga is intense and physical, similar to the Premier League, and that the stadiums are always full. This advice, along with Díaz's stated goal of settling into his new team as quickly as possible, bodes well for Bayern fans eager to see their new signing in action.
However, there is no verifiable information available on specific comments or advice from Wirtz about Díaz's adaptation to German football from the given sources.
Díaz's move to Bayern comes at a time when the club is looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2024-25 season, where they failed to win any major titles. With Díaz's addition, Bayern hopes to regain their dominance in the Bundesliga and challenge for European honours.
