Liverpool star Luis Diaz has joined Bayern Munich on a four-year deal. The Premier League champions earned a hefty transfer fee of £65.5 million (€75m/$88m) for the 29-year-old Colombia international, who spent four-and-a-half seasons at Anfield and won multiple titles, including an FA Cup and the Premier League.

Liverpool are set to soften their stance on Luis Diaz and accept a bid of under €80 million (£69.9m/$93.9m) from Bayern Munich.
