Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he had never met a player who smiled so much in training. With Sadio Mane moved into the centre to accommodate Diaz on the left, he quickly became a fan favourite. They loved his direct approach with the ball at his feet and his tenacity out of possession.

Luis Diaz have opened up on the role Florian Wirtz had in his decision to leave Liverpool, a career move he admits he is “glad” to make. The Colombian winger bid farewell after three-and-a-half seasons on Merseyside, signing for German champions Bayern Munich for a fee of £65.5m.

Bayern Munich has signed Liverpool winger Luis Díaz on a four-year contract in the German champion’s biggest deal of the offseason so far.
