Former Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has publicly defended his summer exit to Bayern Munich, insisting the £65 million move was made with conviction rather than hesitation. In an interview with Sky Germany, the Colombian stated: 'When FC Bayern approached me, I knew from the very first moment that I wanted to make this move.'
Diaz has thrived at Bayern this season, contributing 19 goals and 15 assists. He praised teammate Harry Kane as 'a machine' and acknowledged the adaptation challenges, particularly with the language barrier. The move came as Liverpool underwent transition under Arne Slot, with the club prioritizing financial flexibility during tactical recalibration.
