Ammon News - Liverpool have agreed a deal to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich.

The total fee for the deal is £65.5m.

Diaz, who has two years remaining on his Liverpool contract, now has permission to leave the club's Asia tour. Sky Sports News understand he is expected to leave Tokyo on Monday to finalise the move to Bayern.

Liverpool rejected Bayern's initial advances and an offer believed to be in the region of £58.5m (€67m) but the German club returned with a second offer of £65.5m (€75m) including add-ons.

The Reds have accepted the offer after securing what the club considers to be full market value.

Throughout the summer, Liverpool had been unwilling to sell a key first-team player but Diaz and his representatives pushed for a move. He first signalled a wish to leave in the summer of 2024, but the club held firm while assessing both the squad and the market.

Two separate attempts from Liverpool to agree a contract extension failed due to a gap between offers and demands, and after Diaz helped deliver the club's 20th Premier League title, Liverpool reluctantly agreed to his request to leave.

Diaz joined Liverpool in January 2022 for a guaranteed £37.5m (€42.9m) payment, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract.

His departure does not alter Liverpool's recruitment plans with Hugo Ekitike already signed to strengthen the club's attacking depth. Sky sports
