Bayern Munich came away a clear winner of last year’s summer transfer window by securing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace for a cool €60M. Olise locked down the right wing position with 45 starts, 20 goals, and 20 assists across all competitions.
This summer, Bayern is focused on finding Olise’s counterpart on the left wing. After striking out on Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams, Bayern has zeroed in on Liverpool’s 28-year old attacker, Luis Díaz.
According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Díaz has already made up his mind.
Luis #Diaz has not only informed Liverpool of his desire to leave, but has now also made it clear to #LFC that he would like to join FC Bayern if possible. The transfer is approved by Vincent Kompany.
There is no full agreement between Bayern and Díaz yet. However, personal terms are not an issue, with a potential contract running at least until 2029. It is now up to Bayern to reach an agreement with Liverpool. If not, Díaz could still join another club. Barcelona remain interested, but would currently be unable to register him.
Díaz’s team-first mentality and quick striking ability would offer Bayern another quality option. Kingsley Coman is currently the best option available but notably struggles in the final third. Serge Gnabry is past his prime and will serve as Harry Kane’s backup.
Even though he is much older, Díaz would be more expensive than Michael Olise due to his value to Liverpool. Hopefully, Liverpool will grant Díaz his wish and send him to the German giants.
