Dortmund did respond quickly, however, and levelled the scoreline through former Leverkusen man Julian Brandt, before Julian Ryerson gave the visitors the lead before the break.

Bayern Munich sign Luis Diaz from Liverpool
Bayern Munich on Wednesday completed the signing of forward Luis Diaz from Premier League champions Liverpool for a reported fee that could rise to 75 million euros ($86.5 million). The Colombian, who won the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup during his time at Anfield, has signed a contract with the Bundesliga champions until 2029. "In Luis Diaz, we have succeeded in bringing in one of the best left wingers in the Premier League," said Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen. "He brings real player character from Liverpool to FC Bayern -- he's won silverware with every one of his clubs to date." Diaz, 28, said he was "very happy" with the move to the German club. "It means a lot to me to be part of FC Bayern," he said. "They're one of the biggest clubs in the world. I want to help my new team with my way of playing football and my character. "My goal is to win every possible title, and that's what we'll work for every day as a team." Diaz made 50 appearances and scored 17 goals in all competitions last season as Arne Slot's team clinched the English title for the 20th time. Diaz was left out of Liverpool's 4-2 friendly defeat against AC Milan in Hong Kong on Saturday as speculation mounted over his future. Diaz's signing gives Bayern a quality replacement for Germany forward Jamal Musiala, who has been ruled out for a "long period" after he suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle at the recent Club World Cup. bur-jw/pi

Bayern Munich sign Luis Diaz from Liverpool
Bayern Munich have confirmed the signing of forward Luis Diaz from Liverpool. The 28-year-old has signed a four-year contract until 2029 after a deal Bayern say is worth €70million up front plus a further €5m in potential add-ons. The Athletic reported on Sunday that the Bundesliga champions were closing in on a €75m(£65.6m; $88.1m) move after earlier in the summer having an offer rejected worth €67.5m (£58.6m; $78.8m). 𝘽𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙙𝙤, 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧 😎🇨🇴 #ServusLuis — FC Bayern München (@FCBayern) July 30, 2025 Diaz had a contract with Liverpool until June 2027 but made it clear to the Anfield club that he wanted to leave and was subsequently left out of Liverpool's friendly defeat against AC Milan due to discussions over his future. The Colombia international was given permission to leave the club's Asia tour on Sunday before completing the formalities of a move to Germany on Tuesday. Bayern's initial attacking target Florian Wirtz moved to Liverpool in June, while their other leading option, Spain international winger Nico Williams, opted to renew his contract with Athletic Club. Wirtz was not Liverpool's only signing this summer for their forward line as they also signed Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt this month in a deal worth around £69million ($93.4m) up-front, with a further £10m possible in add-ons. Advertisement Diaz joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022 for a fee that eventually rose to around £43m. He made 148 appearances for the club, scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists in all competitions, including 13 top-flight goals in 36 appearances during Liverpool's 2024-25 Premier League title-winning campaign.
