Liverpool star, Mo Salah, expresses goodbyes to Luis Diaz after his transfer to Munich
Luis Díaz Bids Farewell to Liverpool after Three-and-a- Half Years
Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's star player, has posted a heartfelt message on social media, bidding farewell to departing teammate Luis Díaz. Díaz has transferred to Bayern Munich after three-and-a-half years at Anfield, during which he made a significant impact on the club's success.
Díaz joined Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022 and quickly made an impact at Anfield. In his debut half-season, he registered six goals and four assists, helping the team secure both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. The Colombian forward's contributions were instrumental in Liverpool's domestic cup successes.
In the 2024-25 season, Díaz adapted to a new role as central striker under new head coach Arne Slot. He had his most productive season before his transfer, scoring 17 goals in all competitions, including 13 in the Premier League, which helped Liverpool secure the league title with four games to spare.
Díaz's departure from Liverpool comes after a serious knee injury in the 2022-23 season temporarily halted his momentum. However, he showed resilience off the pitch, overcoming tough times and earning praise from his teammates, including Salah.
Salah's post was a testament to the bond between teammates and the mutual respect they share. He commended Díaz's energy, drive, and passion on the pitch, calling him inspiring and reliable as a teammate. Salah also highlighted Díaz's strength and resilience, both on and off the pitch.
Liverpool received a substantial fee for Díaz, with the transfer reported to be around £65.5 million (€75 million), including add-ons. Díaz leaves Liverpool with four major trophies, including a Premier League title, and a lasting impact on the club's recent successes.
Salah expressed respect for Díaz and wished him success in his future endeavors. Díaz's departure marks the end of an era at Liverpool, but his contributions will be fondly remembered by fans and teammates alike.
