Bayern Munich sign Liverpool forward Luis Diaz on 4-year deal
Munich, July 30: Bayern Munich signed Liverpool winger Luis Díaz to a four-year contract on Wednesday in the German champion’s biggest deal of the offseason so far.
The move balances out Liverpool’s heavy spending with a fee reported at 75 million euros ($87 million) by German media, while Bayern dips into the millions it earned at the Club World Cup, a competition Liverpool didn’t qualify for.
Díaz had been with Liverpool since 2022 and scored 17 goals in 50 games across all competitions last season as the club won the Premier League title.
Diaz’s departure comes in an offseason where Liverpool has spent heavily strengthening a team that won a record-equaling 20th English league title last term.
Coach Arne Slot has focused on his attack with the signings of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. Liverpool’s total spend is around $342 million and there could be more arrivals before the transfer window shuts on September 1. (AP)
