In that initial half-season, Diaz gave Liverpool fans reason to believe they had found a fitting heir to Sadio Mané. “He gave Sadio a strong last six months,” said Hendrick, noting that Diaz’s performances on the left allowed Mané to shift centrally and regain form during the run-in.

Luis Diaz's move to Bayern Munich won't just improve the German champions on the whole, but he will neatly complement Harry Kane in attack.

Bayern Munich are planning an improved offer for Liverpool forward Luis Diaz. The Bundesliga side had an initial £58.6m bid for the Colombia international turned down by the Premier League champions earlier this month.

Liverpool forward Luis Díaz is reportedly on the verge of joining Bayern Munich – and with it, securing a deal that triples his current salary. According to a report from BILD, the Colombian international is set to earn a staggering €14 million per year in Bavaria, compared to his previous €2.7 million net per year at Liverpool.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sport Germany claims that Bayern would offer Díaz a contract at least four years in length and there are clear signals between the player’s camp and Bayern executive Max Eberl. Despite no agreement, it is expected that personal terms are “not an issue”.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot explained why Luis Diaz missed the pre-season friendly against AC Milan, hinting that his move to Bayern Munich is close.
