By acquiring Luis Díaz from Liverpool, Bayern Munich is on the verge of making the club’s first big signing of the 2025 summer transfer window. Flirtations with Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams fell short but Bayern fans will exhale this week once Bayern finally lock down a versatile attacker to complement Jamal Musiala and company.

Diaz was already in Bayern's shortlist on the left flank following the departures of Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller. Although the Bavarians had to pay a premium to lure the 28-year-old out of Merseyside, they have secured a quality winger to aid the likes of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala.

Ex-Bayern Munich player Lothar Matthaus claims the German club had more confidence in Luis Diaz and thus spent big on him rather than Nick Woltemade.

They earned £174.9 million in prize money for winning the Premier League last term and it was reported that the Merseyside giants have benefitted from FSG's decision to renew the £350m revolving credit facility which was due to expire this month.
