OFFICIAL! Liverpool agreed to release Luis Diaz to the Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munich

Gilabola.com – Luis Diaz officially left Liverpool and joined Bayern Munich in a transfer agreement worth £ 65.5 million (Rp1.3 trillion).

This move ended the long speculation regarding the future of the Colombian winger, which was previously reported that it would not be released by the Reds.

Bayern complete the transfer after the second offer

Liverpool initially refused Bayern’s first approach to offering around £ 58.5 million. However, the German giant returned with a second offer worth £ 65.5 million including additional bonuses, and this time the offer was received.

Diaz himself had asked to leave Liverpool and did not enter the squad in the match against AC Milan in Tokyo. He has also been given permission to leave the club’s Asian tour to undergo medical tests in Germany in the next 24 hours.

Failed to extend the contract, Luis Diaz chose to leave

Although the contract is still two years left, Liverpool and Diaz failed to reach an agreement regarding the contract extension. The new contract negotiations were carried out twice but the difference between Diaz’s request and the club’s offer was too large.

Liverpool are actually reluctant to release the 27 -year -old player. But the pressure from the player and his agent made the club finally release Diaz, especially since Bayern’s offer was considered in accordance with the market valuation.

Arne Slot Confirmation of Diaz Absence

Liverpool’s brand-new coach, Arne Slot, confirmed that the absence of Diaz from the squad when he lost 2-4 to AC Milan was caused by transfer speculation.

“He practiced well, but we decided not to play it for now,” Slot told LFC TV. “I can’t say much about the situation, but yes, this is related to rumors circulating.”

Focus on replacement and improvement of the squad

Diaz’s departure forced Liverpool to find a replacement. The name of the Newcastle United striker, Alexander Isak, is included in the club radar.

In addition, the Reds also want to strengthen the back line and enter Crystal Palace defender, Marc Guehi, and Ajax young player, Jorrel Hato, as a target.
