Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl might have tied his future to how his move for former Liverpool winger Luis Díaz plays out, but it is very clear that he believes that the Colombian is the missing link in the team’s attack.

Luis Diaz joined Liverpool in January 2022 in a £37.5m deal but has left with two years remaining on his contract; the Colombian also attracted interest from Barcelona but moves to Vincent Kompanys Bayern Munich;

On the day Luis Diaz departed and left-sided options are being looked at by Liverpool chiefs, 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha shone brightly in a 3-1 comeback win against Yokohama F. Marinos

Harry Kane and Luis Diaz were on target as Bayern Munich registered a comfortable 2-1 win over Stuttgart to claim the German Super Cup title, their first trophy in 2025-26 campaign.

To many, Luis Díaz is Bayern Munich's star signing of the summer. However, former international Dietmar Hamann is extremely critical of the Colombian's arrival. “Luis Díaz is a very good footballer, but what Bayern are doing is not a business model,” Dietmar Hamann said in an interview with the Austrian newspaper Heute.

Liverpool have sold a fair few members of their first-team squad this summer, with Arne Slot undergoing a complete overhaul of his team. The Reds have spent well over £200million on new arrivals, with players such as Luis Diaz exiting for a fee worth around £65.5million.
