With a transfer fee of up to £ 65.5 million, it is clear that Luis Diaz deals from Liverpool to Bayern Munich deserve to be one of the blockbuster contracts at the summer market 2025. However, what is surprised in this deal comes from its extremely fast development.
Less than 2 weeks after the first transfer offer worth £ 58 million was rejected by Liverpool, the German football giant soon closed the deal with the second richest proposal. By this time, the BLD Liverpool also nodded to close the 3.5 -year journey of the Colombian offensive star at Anfield.

According to experts, the sale of Luis Diaz is a wise deal of Fenway Sports Group (FSG) under the management of President John W. Henry, in the context of Liverpool is still looking for ways to purify and upgrade the squad quality, especially when the beginning of the beginning season is about to approach.
At the present time, Liverpool is still the strongest spending team in the Premier League with a total amount of up to £ 295 million, double the other big clubs such as Manchester City (£ 128 million), Arsenal (136 million pounds) and Manchester United (£ 140 million). However, do not forget that the Red Brigade also earned £ 120 million from the sale of players, including: CaoMhin Kelleher (13 million pounds), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£ 8.7 million), Nathan Phillips (2.8 million pounds), Jarell Quanusah (£ 30 million) and upcoming Luis Diaz (£ 65.5 million). According to statistics, after the summer of 2025 ends, the amount collected from the transfer of Liverpool will reach 1 billion pounds under the era of FSG. This continues to strengthen the reputation of the port city team when they are always likened to the best “sales” team in the foggy country.
Basically, the initial selling Luis Diaz is beyond Liverpool's plan. They just lost Diogo Jota after a pitiful traffic accident and certainly did not want to break up with another important factor in the attack for any reason. Over the past 1 year, the BLD team has repeatedly tried to persuade Luis Diaz to commit to the future with a new contract, but all efforts are unsuccessful by the financial distance. Luis Diaz and his representative expected the new remuneration to be outside what Liverpool accepted to pay. With only 1 year of contract, CEO Michael Edwards was forced to take action early to avoid falling into the same case of Arnold. More importantly, the transfer offer from Bayern is simply unable to refuse.
We do not deny Luis Diaz's important contribution in the 20th Liverpool Premier League championship, where he scored 13 goals and 5 assists after 36 appearances. However, for a player who is no longer salty, he wants to continue to contribute, and is at the end of the contract, it is clear that the amount of £ 65.5 million that Edwards brought back to supplement the transfer budget is a great success. Remember that in January 2022, Liverpool recruited Luis Diaz from Porto for £ 39 million + surcharges. And according to journalist Ben Jacobs, the total amount of surcharges that the current Anfield team paid to Porto was only £ 3.5 million. Thus, Liverpool can earn a profit of up to 20 million pounds, after deducting all other related expenses.
Throughout history, Liverpool has never been the team “trying to live trying to die” to keep the star at all costs, except for the case of former captain Steven Gerrard – who applied to leave when Chelsea wanted his service in the summer of 2005. We can see the mirror of Michael Owen, Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez. All three were Liverpool's top strikers but when they no longer wanted to devote to the team, BLD Liverpool turned the green light for them to leave.

And despite Luis Diaz who played excellently, he still had to follow the same path as Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Georginio Wijnaldum, the stars who had hoped to have his own fat contracts before realizing that Edwards was not easily shaken by affection. The 46 -year -old CEO is famous as a very tough person at work. Because of that assertive personality, the man born in Southampton was highly appreciated by the Liverpool owner for management capacity.
3 years ago, Edwards received a lot of criticism when proposing to BLD Liverpool about not meeting the requirements of Mane's salary increase as Mohamed Salah (Mane required increased to 20 million pounds/season), instead decided to sell the Senegal star in the summer of 2022. In fact, the time Mane moved to Bayern for £ 35 million, but his advice was resigned from his support. Strong from the upper floor at Anfield. Edwards returned to hold power in Liverpool 2 years later, when FSG needs a good manager to prepare for the prospect of Jurrgen Klopp about to leave. Time has proven the vision of Edwards. Mane only remained Bayern in exactly 1 season, before being sold to Al-Nassr in the summer of 2023 because it did not meet the expertise.

Currently, Luis Diaz's situation has quite a lot of similarities with Mane, although the Colombian striker left when he was 28 years old. In the last season, the former Porto player was not always playing well. Luis Diaz used to have a serious decline in the first year of the new year 2025. Within the first 3 months of the year (from January to March), Luis Diaz only contributed only 1 goal after 19 appearances, despite up to 15 main kicks. Maintaining a stable performance over a long time is always a big problem for Luis Diaz. With the advancement of Cody Gakpo, even when he continued to stay in Liverpool, the boy born in 1997 did not easily capture the main kick on the left wing corridor. In contrast, in the case of Luis Diaz, Liverpool can use the money collected itself to reinvest in the attack. Typically, the case of Alexander Isak – the factor that is rumored to leave Newcastle to move to Liverpool right this summer, despite the huge amount of money can be up to £ 120 million that The Kop must meet.

Further, deals like selling Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for £ 142 million, and then used that money to recruit Alisson Becker, Fabinho and Virgil Van Dijk has proved Liverpool's core filter. Not only know how to earn words from the stars, the Red Brigade is also willing to break up with young talents from the club training furnace if the price is. In 2016, Liverpool sold Jordon Ibe to Bournemouth to earn 18 million pounds. Only one year later, they sold Kevin Stewart to Hull City and recruited Andy Robertson in the opposite direction without having to pay any additional difference.
And in some way, they “enchanted” for Crystal Palace to disburse £ 26 million to center -back Mamadou Sakho – a person who has never proved himself as the leading center -back in Europe. Then came Danny Ward, Ryan Kent or Rhian Brewster, all of which were less attention but still helped Liverpool make money when they let them leave. What is the common point of all of the above names? That is that they all failed to develop their careers when leaving Anfield and finally the most beneficiary from “choosing the drop point” in the transfer none other than Liverpool.
Obviously, if there is an additional book about the player's talent in the transfer of the player, the book released by Liverpool deserves the name in the best -selling category.
Luis Diaz did not play in a friendly match against AC Milan and coach Arne Slot admitted that the Colombian striker was related to the transfer rumors.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romao, Luis Diaz is approaching leaving Liverpool to move to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2025.
