Luis Diaz got advice from Florian Wirtz before joining Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Luis Diaz arrives at Bayern Munich as the club’s third most expensive player following his €75m transfer from Liverpool. The 28-year-old Colombian winger has since had his unveiling press conference, and first training session. Prior to joining the Rekordmeister, Diaz revealed that he got advice from Florian Wirtz, who swapped Bayer Leverkusen for the Premier League club.

“He said that the Bundesliga is very intense, physical and obviously different from the Premier League,” said Diaz. “The stadiums are always full. He told me that Munich is a beautiful city and that I would enjoy it.”

Speaking at Diaz’ first press conference, sporting director Max Eberl added: “It quickly became clear that Lucho wanted to join us. We were totally focussed on Luis. He knows how to achieve success.” During his time at Liverpool, Diaz became a Premier League and FA Cup winner, as well as a two-time league cup winner – the Colombian scored 41 goals and provided 23 assists in 148 appearances across all competitions under Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot.

Diaz follows Adolfo Valencia (1993-1994) and James Rodriguez (2017-2019) in Colombians to play for Bayern Munich.
