The 28-year-old Colombian signed a contract with the German record champions until June 30, 2029 and will wear the number 14.

"Luis Díaz is an internationally experienced player with tremendous quality, great skills, and great reliability. He will immediately help our team," said sporting director Max Eberl about the new signing. "Transfers like this work when everything meshes together." Díaz himself also expressed his delight: "It means a lot to me to be part of FC Bayern – it's one of the biggest clubs in the world."

Díaz is Bayern's first top signing since the Club World Cup. The Munich club had previously signed Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen and Tom Bischof from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. In the current battle for new German international Nick Woltemade, there's a lot of evidence pointing to him staying at VfB Stuttgart. The two clubs are too far apart in terms of the transfer fee.

According to Wirtz & Co. important Liverpool income

After costly transfers like those of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong (both Bayer Leverkusen), and Hugo Ekitiké (Eintracht Frankfurt), the Reds are now doing something to boost revenue. According to consistent reports and estimates, Liverpool have already spent more than the equivalent of €300 million on new players this summer.
