Luis Diaz's medical details before signing with Bayern Munich

New Colombian in the Bundesliga. Luis Diaz's medical details before signing with Bayern Munich The long-anticipated transfer of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich reaches its final stages, with the Colombian winger scheduled for medical tests in Germany on Monday. Liverpool's hierarchy reluctantly agreed to the £65.4 million deal after Bayern's persistent pursuit finally met their valuation. Diaz's departure comes after months of frustration over stalled contract negotiations, with the 28-year-old feeling undervalued at Anfield. His absence during Liverpool's 4-2 pre-season defeat to AC Milan in Asia spoke volumes, with new manager Arne Slot acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding the player's future while praising his professionalism in training. Bayern's initial £58.5 million approach last week fell short, but Vincent Kompany's determination to land his target proved decisive. The improved weekend offer triggered Liverpool's acceptance, paving the way for Diaz to end his three-year Merseyside stint. Slot remained coy when pressed about potential exits, deflecting questions linking Darwin Nunez's similar absence to transfer speculation.

Bayern preparing improved Diaz bid of more than £60m

Bayern Munich are planning an improved offer for Liverpool forward Luis Diaz. The Bundesliga side had an initial £58.6m bid for the Colombia international turned down by the Premier League champions earlier this month. But Bayern are determined to land Diaz and sources are indicating that the German title holders are hoping an agreement can be reached. The offer - inclusive of add-ons - will likely be more than £60m. Diaz was left out of Liverpool's squad for Saturday's 4-2 pre-season friendly defeat by AC Milan in Hong Kong because of speculation surrounding his departure from the club. "There are a lot of rumours around him lately and I cannot go into that," said Liverpool manager Arne Slot. "He's training really well with us but we've decided for now not to play him yet." Liverpool have signed forwards Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike already this summer and are interested in Newcastle United's Alexander Isak. Diaz arrived at Anfield from Porto in a deal worth an initial £37m in January 2022 and he was an integral part of the squad that won the 2024-25 Premier League title.

Bayern Munich close to reaching 75m euro deal for Liverpool forward Luis Diaz

Liverpool are closing in on a 75 million euro deal with Bayern Munich for Reds forward Luis Diaz, the PA news agency understands. Bayern were understood to have reopened dialogue regarding a move after having an initial offer of 67.5 million euros (£59m) dismissed last week. And it is understood that a 75 million euro deal is close between the Bundesliga champions and Liverpool for Diaz. Liverpool are currently on their pre-season tour in Asia and Diaz was still with the team when they arrived in Tokyo on Sunday. The 28-year-old was left out of Liverpool's 4-2 friendly defeat to AC Milan in Hong Kong on Saturday as speculation surrounding his future continued to mount. Speaking post-match, head coach Arne Slot said: 'In Lucho's (Diaz's) situation, there's a lot of rumours around him lately and I cannot go into that. 'He's training really well with us but we have decided for now not to play him yet. 'I'm used to talking to most of my players on a regular basis. I cannot comment much more about that.' Liverpool have been busy in the transfer window so far and have bolstered their attacking options with Florian Wirtz – who made his first start as a false nine on Saturday – and Hugo Ekitike joining the club. There have also been further arrivals on Merseyside, with Jeremie Frimpong, left-back Milos Kerkez and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili all signing and the trio played in the second half of Saturday's friendly.
