Bayern Munich signs Luis Díaz, who could become a key player for Vincent Kompany
Luis Díaz is officially joining Bayern Munich from Liverpool in a high-profile transfer valued at €75 million, including performance-related bonuses. The Colombian winger is set to become the Bundesliga champions’ marquee signing ahead of the 2025/26 season, as confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The 28-year-old attacker will sign a four-year contract and is expected to be unveiled in the coming days, marking a significant step in Bayern’s squad rebuild under manager Vincent Kompany.
Díaz Brings Speed, Skill, and Strategic Value
Díaz arrives after a successful spell in the Premier League, where he won multiple titles with Liverpool and developed into a complete forward. Known for his high-intensity pressing, direct runs, and versatility, he is expected to play a pivotal role in Kompany’s vision for a more vertical, high-tempo Bayern.
The Colombian’s profile aggressive, technical, and relentless perfectly fits Kompany’s tactical blueprint. His ability to operate on both flanks, with a preference for cutting in from the left, gives Bayern added flexibility and width.
Competition Looms but Díaz Is Expected to Start
While Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry, and Kingsley Coman offer competition on the wings, Díaz’s combination of pace, dribbling, and defensive work rate make him a strong candidate for the starting XI.
Kompany, entering his second season in charge, is expected to use Díaz as a key piece to revitalize an attack that occasionally lacked sharpness in 2024/25. The manager sees Díaz as not just a finisher but also a high-pressing forward who can create space and opportunities for teammates like Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala.
Transfer Signals Bayern’s Ambition
The €75 million deal equivalent to approximately R$490 million represents one of the largest transfers of the summer window and underlines Bayern’s ambition to return to the top of European football after falling short in the Champions League last season.
Díaz’s departure also marks one of Liverpool’s most lucrative player sales in recent history. The Reds are now in the market for a new wide forward, especially amid ongoing speculation about the future of other attackers.
