Liverpool have agreed to sell winger Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich in a deal worth up to €75m (£65.5m). The 28-year-old Colombian is set to fly from Liverpool's training camp in Tokyo for a medical with the German champions, having been given permission to travel.
Bayern had long targeted Díaz and ultimately met Liverpool's valuation. The player was keen on the move, having first indicated in summer 2024 he was open to a transfer. Liverpool reluctantly decided to sell as part of a forward line overhaul, despite twice offering a new contract to the player who joined from Porto in January 2022 for an initial €45m.
Díaz was left out of Liverpool's pre-season 4-2 defeat to Milan in Hong Kong, with manager Arne Slot confirming the absence was due to a possible transfer. “In Lucho’s situation it was, yeah,” Slot said. “There are a lot of rumours around it lately and I cannot go into that. But he is training really well with us and we have decided, for now, not to play him yet.”
Liverpool have already signed Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike this summer, and are exploring other deals, with links to Newcastle's Alexander Isak. The Díaz sale brings total player sales to nearly £190m since Richard Hughes became sporting director in June 2024.
In other news, João Félix is leaving Chelsea for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr in a deal that could reach £44m, while Everton manager David Moyes confirmed a bid for Bayern left-back Adam Aznou.
