Luis Díaz has reached an agreement with Bayern Munich, leaving Barcelona on the sidelines of negotiations.
Luis Díaz, one of the most unpredictable wingers in European football, will not continue his career in the Premier League. The Colombian striker, who was also wanted by Barcelona, will be Bayern’s new player. This is reported by German newspaper BILD, which values the transfer at around €80 million – which places the Liverpool player among the most expensive signings for the Bavarian club in years.

The 28-year-old footballer leaves Anfield after two and a half seasons of varying success, but with brilliant moments that justify the German champion’s investment. His arrival in the Bundesliga marks a strategic move by Bayern to strengthen their attacking line after a weak European season. Munich’s management have opted to bring in an explosive, dynamic and goal-scoring winger in an attempt to renew a team that has lost its identity to some extent in recent months.

For Barcelona, the news comes as a hard blow, as they envisioned Díaz as part of their new project. Despite the player’s desire to compete at the top level, the Catalan club could not match the financial conditions from Germany. Saudi Arabia had also shown interest in the Colombian, but in the end, he will remain in Europe.
Nevertheless, this transfer opens the door for Barcelona to increase their pursuit of Marcus Rashford, who remains a top priority for Hansi Flick. With Luis Díaz out of the picture, the chances increase that the Manchester United player could end up at Camp Nou – in a sportingly pressured situation where the club needs to revive fan enthusiasm after several failed marketing attempts.
