Luis Diaz Drops Bombshell: How Florian Wirtz's Words Sparked His Shocking Bayern Munich Move
Luis Díaz has disclosed that he engaged in a significant discussion with Florian Wirtz prior to his summer switch from Liverpool to Bayern Munich.
Liverpool secured Wirtz for £116 million in June after outbidding Bayern Munich and other top European clubs for his services, prompting the German champions to pursue Díaz as their headline signing during the summer transfer period.
The Colombian forward enjoyed three-and-a-half successful seasons with the Reds, contributing to their Premier League triumph last season, but opted for the £65.5 million transfer to Bayern in July to embark on a fresh journey.
Díaz has made an instant impact in Bavaria, already recording eight goals and five assists across just 14 appearances for the powerhouse club. He has secured the German Super Cup and appears set to capture the Bundesliga crown with Bayern maintaining a five-point advantage after an flawless campaign start.
The 28-year-old has now disclosed the importance of a discussion he shared with former teammate Wirtz before relocating to Germany, with the former Bayer Leverkusen talent offering an enthusiastic endorsement of the Bundesliga.
"He mentioned that the league featured tremendous intensity and exceptional teams. The venues are consistently packed," Díaz commented about his conversation with Wirtz, according to ESPN Colombia and Bundesliga en Español on Instagram.
"He assured me that I would find great enjoyment and achieve considerable success. I expressed my gratitude for his insight."
Wirtz's assessment proved accurate regarding Díaz's success in the Bundesliga, as the Colombian international has dominated opponents while playing alongside stars like Harry Kane and Michael Olise in Bayern's talented attacking unit.
Meanwhile, Wirtz has faced greater challenges at Liverpool, with the attacking midfielder yet to score his inaugural goal under Arne Slot's struggling side. The Reds have suffered defeat in six of their previous seven fixtures, placing Wirtz under scrutiny following a disappointing beginning in England.
