The 28-year-old penned a contract until 2029 and will wear the Bayern shirt after a successful spell at Anfield, where he won the Premier League, FA Cup, and two League Cups.
“In Luis Diaz, we have succeeded in bringing in one of the best left-wingers in the Premier League,” said Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen. “He brings real player character from Liverpool to FC Bayern — he’s won silverware with every one of his clubs to date.”
Diaz said he was thrilled by the switch: “It means a lot to me to be part of FC Bayern. They’re one of the biggest clubs in the world. I want to help my new team with my way of playing football and my character.
My goal is to win every possible title.”
On social media, he thanked Liverpool fans, saying he would “treasure forever” his time at the club and was “leaving proud of everything we achieved together.”
Last season, Diaz made 50 appearances, scored 17 goals, and provided eight assists across all competitions, including 13 goals in the Premier League — second only to Mohamed Salah.
His arrival comes at a crucial time for Bayern, who are dealing with injuries to key attackers, including Jamal Musiala, and the departures of Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané. Diaz is expected to slot straight into Vincent Kompany’s squad and could make his debut on Saturday in a friendly against Lyon.
He becomes Bayern’s third-biggest signing ever, behind Harry Kane (€95M) and Lucas Hernandez (€80M).
