Luis Diaz completes £65.5m transfer from Liverpool to Bayern Munich – as forward pens lucrative four-year deal with the German giants… so, could this pave the way for Alexander Isak’s British record transfer move?

Luis Diaz has completed a £65.5million transfer to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich from Liverpool. 

The Colombian underwent his medical in Bavaria on Tuesday after the Reds accepted Bayern’s latest big-money offer. 

He said goodbye to his teammates a day earlier, three and a half years after he made the move to the Premier League from Porto. Diaz made 148 appearances during his time at Anfield, scoring 41 goals.

He is thought to have first told Liverpool bosses of his desire to leave last summer, but the club held firm.

They later made two separate attempts to agree a contract extension with the left-winger, but failed to convince Diaz due to a gap between offers and demands.

Bayern initially advanced with an offer worth around £58.5m which was rebuffed, before Liverpool accepted the German champions’ second offer of £65.5m including add-ons. More to follow.
