Liverpool transfer news: Luis Diaz filmed at airport ahead of £64.9m Bayern Munich move

Liverpool attacker Luis Diaz has been filmed arriving at a Munich airport as he prepares to complete his big-money switch to Bayern Munich.

Following one failed approach to the Premier League champions, Bayern are now understood to have succeeded with an offer of around €75m (£64.9m) for the former Porto attacker.

Diaz was not involved in the weekend's 4-2 friendly loss to AC Milan amid the speculation surrounding his future, but he nevertheless travelled to Japan with the rest of the Liverpool squad ahead of Wednesday's clash with Yokohama F. Marinos.

However, the Colombia international was then given permission to say his goodbyes and leave the camp, and his unveiling at the Allianz Arena is now edging closer.

Sky Deutschland journalist Kerry Hau filmed Diaz as he arrived at a Munich airport on Tuesday morning, where the attacker wheeled his suitcase along to a car with members of his entourage.

Diaz will now undergo his medical and sign a four-year contract with the Bundesliga champions, who will be expected to confirm his arrival in the coming days.

The 28-year-old will plug the gap left by Leroy Sane's exit to Galatasaray, which Bayern initially tried to fill with the signing of Florian Wirtz, but they were beaten to the Germany international by Liverpool.

However, with Wirtz providing added competition on the left-hand side at Anfield, Diaz reportedly made his intentions to leave clear, and he departs following a three-and-a-half year spell on Merseyside.

The Colombian winger leaves having registered 41 goals and 23 assists in 148 appearances for the Premier League champions, including 17 strikes in all competitions in the 2024-25 season.

Who else could Liverpool sell after Bayern-bound Diaz?

In an ideal world, Liverpool would have had Diaz, Wirtz and 16-year-old wonderkid Rio Ngumoha battling for starts on the left-hand side, but the Reds were in no position to turn down a £20m+ profit on the former.

Diaz is one of a handful of attackers who could head for the exit door in the coming weeks, as Liverpool should be open to appropriate offers for Harvey Elliott, Ben Doak and Federico Chiesa, who are all searching for more minutes elsewhere.

Further back, Under-21 European champion Tyler Morton could leave if a suitable opportunity arises, while the future of right-back Calvin Ramsay is also uncertain following Jeremie Frimpong's arrival.

Arne Slot also has three left-backs in his ranks in Milos Kerkez, Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, so it is not impossible to envisage one of the trio leaving, as well as 2020-21 centre-back hero Rhys Williams.

Any funds raised from player sales will be expected to go towards a record offer for Alexander Isak, and Newcastle United are braced to receive a proposal from Liverpool for the Swedish striker this week.
