Luis Díaz did not appear a minute in the first friendly, of the Asian tour of Liverpool against Milan in Hong Kong. It was not due to injury or rotation: his absence could be a message. Everything indicates that his stage at the English club is about to end. The most likely destiny: Bayern Munich.
The negotiation between the German giant and Liverpool has climbed quickly. Bayern has uploaded its offer three times, until it reaches 80 million euros. That figure – closest to the claims of the English club – seems to have unlock the agreement. From Germany they say that the Colombian already has a principle in accordance with his new team: contract until 2029 and a salary close to 14 million euros per season.
Díaz did travel to the preseason tour with the 'reds'. It even appeared in several publications of the club on social networks, training and smiling. But within the dressing room the story is another. He acknowledged that he is listening to offers and wants to take the next step. He has not felt sufficiently valued in Liverpool. Although it was key in several sections last season, its salary was well below the average of other team figures.
The operation has not yet been officially closed, but the decision not to include it for a minute against Milan makes it clear that its exit is imminent. Bayern wants to close the signing as soon as possible for the Colombian to join the preseason and start from day one with Thomas Tuchel. The plan: form an offensive luxury trident with Harry Kane and Michael Olise.
The next friendly Liverpool will be July 30 against Yokohama Marino. At this point, Diaz seems unlikely to dress again.
