Introduction
Luis Diaz is officially a Bayern Munich player. The Colombian winger has completed a permanent move to the Bundesliga giants, bringing to an end an unforgettable three-and-a-half-year spell at Liverpool. His departure marks a turning point, not just for him, but for the club and supporters who watched him dazzle in red.
The move closes a chapter that began with excitement, grew into admiration, and concluded with the highest of highs: lifting the Premier League title. Diaz leaves behind a legacy of flair, fight, and trophies. For Liverpool fans, it’s a bittersweet goodbye. For Bayern, it’s a massive gain.
A Star Is Born: Diaz’s Arrival at Anfield
When Luis Diaz joined Liverpool from FC Porto in early 2022, expectations were high, but even then, few could have predicted the immediate impact he would make. Signed during a critical part of the season, Diaz didn’t need any adjustment period. He hit the ground running.
From his very first appearances, it was clear Liverpool had secured a special talent. His pace on the break, unpredictable dribbling, and ability to create something out of nothing made him an instant crowd favorite. Nicknamed ‘Lucho,’ the Colombian attacker quickly became an essential part of Jürgen Klopp’s evolving frontline.
In just the second half of the 2021–22 season, Luis Diaz registered six goals and four assists in 26 appearances. These numbers only tell part of the story. His performances were electric. Whether cutting in from the left or popping up centrally, Diaz added a new dimension to Liverpool’s attack.
Key Role in a Quadruple Chase
Luis Diaz arrived at a time when Liverpool were chasing an unprecedented quadruple. He didn’t shy away from the pressure. In fact, he embraced it.
He played a pivotal role in the Reds’ success in both domestic cups. Starting in the Carabao Cup final and the Emirates FA Cup final, Diaz helped guide Liverpool through two grueling matches against Chelsea. Both went to penalties. Both ended with Liverpool lifting silverware at Wembley. Diaz didn’t score in either final, but his contributions across both competitions were vital.
In Europe, he was part of the team that reached the Champions League final, only to be narrowly beaten by Real Madrid in Paris. And in the league, Liverpool pushed Manchester City all the way, finishing just one point short of the title. That season ended in frustration on some fronts, but Diaz had shown he belonged at the highest level.
Setback and Comeback
The 2022–23 campaign started with promise but quickly turned difficult for Luis Diaz. A serious knee injury in the early part of the season halted his progress. The timing couldn’t have been worse. After lighting up Anfield in his debut season, fans were eager to see what a full campaign of Lucho could bring.
Instead, the injury sidelined him for the majority of the season. He managed just 21 appearances and understandably struggled for rhythm after returning. It was a season of frustration, but also one that revealed Diaz’s resilience.
By the summer, he had recovered and made a symbolic change, switching his shirt number to Liverpool’s iconic No.7. It marked the beginning of his resurgence.
Back to His Best and Beyond
The next two seasons saw Luis Diaz fully recapture his form. He featured in 101 matches, scored 30 goals, and assisted 10 more. He looked sharper, stronger, and more determined than ever.
In 2023–24, Liverpool lifted the League Cup again, once more under the Wembley lights. It turned out to be Jürgen Klopp’s final season at the helm. As Klopp waved goodbye to the Kop, a new chapter began under Dutch head coach Arne Slot.
Under Slot, Diaz’s role evolved. While he had primarily been deployed on the flanks, Slot began using him more frequently through the middle of the front three. The results were immediate and impressive.
Diaz Leads Liverpool to Premier League Glory
The 2024–25 season was Luis Diaz’s most prolific and influential campaign for the club. Playing centrally, he not only adjusted to the role but thrived in it. His movement, control, and finishing were more refined than ever. He scored 17 goals in all competitions, 13 of which came in the Premier League.
He was no longer just a spark he was a leader in attack. Perhaps the highlight of the season came early on, when Luis Diaz netted twice at Old Trafford. That performance wasn’t just about the goals; it was a statement. Liverpool were serious contenders. By the end of the campaign, they had sealed the Premier League title with four matches to spare.
The celebrations in April and May were unforgettable. Luis Diaz danced with the fans, soaked in the atmosphere, and lifted the trophy that had eluded him until then. It was the crowning moment of his Liverpool career.
European Nights and Unforgettable Moments
Luis Diaz also left his mark in Europe. One of the standout performances of the 2024–25 season came in the Champions League group stage, when he scored a second-half hat-trick in a 4-0 demolition of Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield.
That game captured everything Liverpool fans had come to love about Luis Diaz. Speed. Precision. Fearlessness. He tore through Leverkusen’s defense with ease, securing the match ball and another standing ovation.
While Liverpool didn’t go all the way in Europe that season, nights like that reminded everyone of the magic Luis Diaz could deliver when it mattered most.
The Final Farewell
Luis Diaz’s final months at Liverpool were filled with joy and reflection. He had been through highs and lows, but he left on top, having helped deliver another league title to Anfield.
The move to Bayern Munich marks a new challenge for the 27-year-old. He joins one of Europe’s most dominant clubs, and he does so with a winning pedigree, sharp form, and a hunger for more silverware.
For Liverpool, it’s the end of an era. But the club can look back at Luis Diaz’s time on Merseyside with pride. He gave everything flair, goals, and fight and he did it all with a smile.
A Thank You That Goes Beyond Words
As Luis Diaz embarks on his next chapter in the Bundesliga, Liverpool Football Club has thanked him for his immense contributions. He leaves having won every major domestic trophy in England and having played an essential role in one of the club’s most competitive modern eras.
His name will always be remembered at Anfield, not just for the goals and the medals, but for the energy and heart he brought every time he stepped on the pitch. Bayern Munich are getting a champion. Liverpool are saying goodbye to one.
Good luck, Lucho. You’ll never walk alone.
