Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he had never met a player who smiled so much in training. With Sadio Mane moved into the centre to accommodate Diaz on the left, he quickly became a fan favourite. They loved his direct approach with the ball at his feet and his tenacity out of possession.

Diaz was already in Bayern's shortlist on the left flank following the departures of Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller. Although the Bavarians had to pay a premium to lure the 28-year-old out of Merseyside, they have secured a quality winger to aid the likes of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala.

Ex-Bayern Munich player Lothar Matthaus claims the German club had more confidence in Luis Diaz and thus spent big on him rather than Nick Woltemade.

They earned £174.9 million in prize money for winning the Premier League last term and it was reported that the Merseyside giants have benefitted from FSG's decision to renew the £350m revolving credit facility which was due to expire this month.
