Transfer Details and Bayern’s Summer Pursuit
According to The Athletic, Bayern Munich have signed Diaz in a £65.6 million deal, with a proposed 4+1 year contract. Diaz was granted permission to travel to Germany for his medical. Earlier in the window, Liverpool rejected an initial £58.6 million bid, only entertaining offers they believed met his full market value.
Bayern had been searching for an attacking reinforcement after missing out on key targets. Their first-choice, Florian Wirtz, moved to Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen, while Nico Williams chose to stay at Athletic Club. They also made inquiries for Xavi Simons, but eventually turned to Diaz for his experience, versatility, and tactical flexibility.
