Colombian signs four-year deal with German champions
Liverpool boost finances prior to potential bid for Isak
Liverpool’s financial position has been strengthened prior to a potential bid for Alexander Isak after Luis Díaz completed his €75m (£65.5m) move to Bayern Munich.
Díaz has signed a four-year contract with the option of an extra year with the Bundesliga champions after Liverpool received an improved offer they felt represented fair market value for the 28-year-old Colombia international on Sunday. Díaz, who left Liverpool’s pre-season training camp in Tokyo on Monday to seal the transfer, turns 29 in January and had made it clear he wished to leave the Premier League champions.
The winger had wanted to leave last summer but Liverpool stood firm before Arne Slot’s debut season as head coach. The club subsequently attempted to renew his contract, which was due to expire in 2027, but with no prospect of an agreement and Bayern improving their bid with achievable add-ons, Liverpool reluctantly agreed to his sale. Díaz played a key role in the club’s 20th league title triumph last season and scored 17 goals in all competitions.
