According to multiple reports on Sunday, German champions Bayern Munich have agreed to sign Liverpool winger Luis Diaz for a sum of $65 million ($88 million).
The Premier League champions last week rejected Bayern’s initial offer of £59 million, but their improved offer appears to be a good one for the Colombia international.
According to reports, Diaz has been given permission to leave Liverpool’s pre-season tour of Asia to get ready for a medical at Bayern.
In his time at Anfield, he won the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup after moving from Porto to Liverpool in January 2022.

Last year, the 28-year-old made 50 appearances and scored 17 goals in all competitions for Arne Slot’s team, who won the English title for the first time in five years.
As rumors grew about Diaz’ future, Liverpool lost to AC Milan 4-2 in a friendly game on Saturday in Hong Kong.
After the Milan game, Slot said, “In Lucho’s (Diaz’s) situation, there have been a lot of rumors lately, and I am unable to address that.”
He’s training very well with us, but we’ve already made a decision to not play him.
I’ve always been comfortable talking to the majority of my players. I have no more comments to add.
Bayern can use Diaz’s imminent purchase to replace German international Jamal Musiala, who has been ruled out for a “long time” due to his broken leg and dislocated ankle at this month’s Club World Cup.
Liverpool have spent a lot of money on signings for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz and Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, both of whom have attracted high salaries during the transfer window.
Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joined from Valencia, while defenders Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez both signed from Leverkusen and Bournemouth, respectively.
Additionally, it is thought that the Reds are interested in purchasing Newcastle’s £150 million striker Alexander Isak.
