Luis Diaz set to undergo Bayern Munich medical on Tuesday

Luis Diaz is expected to undergo his Bayern Munich medical on Tuesday ahead of completing his transfer from Liverpool, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.

Plettenberg posted on X: “Luis #Díaz will arrive in Munich on Tuesday, with his medical also scheduled to take place the same day.

“He will then sign a contract until 2029, with an option for a further year. FC Bayern are paying €70m as a fixed fee, plus up to €5m in potential bonuses.

“Agents Christian Wein and Raul Pais Da Costa from the agency AS1 played a crucial role in making the deal happen.”

The Bundesliga champions will pay €75million (£65.6m) for the services of the 28-year-old, who travelled to Tokyo with Arne Slot’s squad on their pre-season tour.

Diaz has already been given permission to travel and complete his move to Bayern in the next 24 hours.

The Reds were not willing to part ways with Diaz, who was also attracting interest from Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr this summer. Liverpool executives viewed Diaz as pivotal for the coming seasons.

Liverpool already rejected Barcelona’s attempt to sign Diaz this summer.

Diaz played an instrumental role for Arne Slot’s side as they secured a record-equalling 20th league title.

The Colombia international racked up 50 appearances, scored 17 goals, and provided eight assists last season, featuring in an unfamiliar No.9 position.

Luis Diaz, who joined Liverpool from Porto in 2022, has just two years left on his contract.

Speaking while away with Colombia on international duty last month, Diaz said: “I’m very, very happy in Liverpool. From day one, they’ve made me feel really welcome.

“Right now we’re in contact with them because we’re speaking with [other] clubs. It’s normal, the market is open, and we’re trying to sort out what’s best for us.

“I am just waiting to see what happens. If Liverpool doesn’t make a good offer, I still have two years left with them, I would be happy and content to stay there.

“And that’s it, everything depends on them obviously, it’s up to me to decide what’s best for us and the future.”
