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.

Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is ‘waiting on permission to travel’ to complete a move to Bayern Munich as total package is agreed, according to reports. The Reds have been busy in the transfer market this summer with FSG backing Arne Slot after the Dutchman won the Premier League title in his first season at Anfield.

Liverpool left Luis Diaz out of their pre-season friendly against AC Milan amid uncertainty about his future as Bayern Munich continue their bid to sign the winger. Head coach Arne Slot decided it was best not to pick Diaz after a summer of interest in him and with the 28-year-old seemingly open to a move away from Anfield.
