Liverpool has concluded a deal with Bayern Munich to sell the Willewaway Colombia International after the German champions have returned with an improved second offer for the 28-year-old
Luis Diaz leaves Liverpool's pre-season in Tokyo after the Reds corresponded to a £ 65.5 million deal with Bayern Munich to sell the Wantaway Colombian.
Diaz, 28, has been given permission to leave the club's training camp in Japan to seal a move to the German giants, who has been in the making for 12 months.
The No. 7 of the Reds has urged a move to Munich after he has informed the hierarchy of the Reds that he wants to leave this summer. His decision came after the club refused to enter into contract negotiations.
Diaz and his representatives are more than a year after a new contract, in the conviction that he was relatively underpaid on Merseyside, who was still in the same basic conditions since he was in a relocation of £ 37 million in January 2022 from Porto from Porto.
Diaz initially hoped to stay in the club, where he was an important figure in last season's Triumph's Premier League triumph. But Kop -bosses were not willing to open discussions about an improved deal, since he was left for two years on his contract, a decision that led to frustration with Diaz and his representatives, and saw them pushing properly to leave.
Diaz missed Liverpool's 4-2 defeat in a friendly with AC Milan on Saturday while continuing their pre-season tour through Asia. After the game, Arne Slot confirmed that Diaz was absent because of his uncertain future, but insisted that he is training well.
After the loss against Milan, Slot was asked whether both 28-year-old and teammate Darwin Nunez's absence were linked to potential transfers.
“In the situation of Lucho it was, yes,” De Liverpool told reporters. “There have been many rumors around it lately and I can't go into it. But he is really training well with us and we have now decided not to play him yet.
“In the situation of Darwin, he also trained very well and played a few good games for us this preseason. He was injured, so we didn't want to take the risk and it was the same with Wataru Endo, trained with us all week, but we didn't want to take any risk with him either.
Laverpool rejected an opening offer from Bayern worth £ 58.5 million last week. But Vincent Kompany's side is determined to sign Diaz and are now ready to get their husband. Bayern made an improved range of £ 65.5 million during the weekend that Liverpool has now accepted.
Bayern -Baas Kompany spoke with Diaz during a recent video call and outlined his plans for Diaz. The German giants have been desperate to sign an attacker after they have missed the top goal, Florian Wirtz – won a race by Liverpool – and this summer both Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller lost on free transfers. They are also confronted with a considerable period without Jamal Musiala due to injury.
Diaz leaves Anfield with 41 goals in 148 performances for Liverpool.
