Luis Diaz calls Bayern Munich £65m transfer big gamble after Wirtz talks

Luis Diaz, the Colombian forward, described his transfer from Liverpool to Bayern Munich as a "big gamble" but has already made a significant impact by scoring in his debut during Bayern's 2-1 DFL Supercup win over Stuttgart. Diaz, who moved for £65.5 million, revealed he had discussions with Liverpool's Florian Wirtz about the Bundesliga before making the switch, which helped him prepare for the physical nature of the league. His departure followed failed contract negotiations with Liverpool, where the club initially resisted his move but eventually agreed to the transfer after two unsuccessful attempts to extend his contract. Diaz expressed gratitude toward Bayern's management for their trust and emphasized his commitment to contributing on the pitch. He also emotionally dedicated his first goal to former Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car accident last month. Diaz hopes to continue settling in and achieving great things with Bayern Munich.
