TBR Football have spoken exclusively to Luis Diaz’s camp following his move from Liverpool to FC Bayern Munich.

A deal for Luis Diaz is now fully agreed at £65 million plus add-ons, and the winger is now ready to fly back to Europe for a medical with Bayern.

The Colombian winger is set to sign a four-year contract plus the option of another, and his salary will nearly quadruple at the German club.

Diaz has been keen to join Bayern ever since contract talks with the Reds began to stall, TBR Football has been told.

The forward has now broken his silence after a deal for him to make his switch to the Bundesliga champions was agreed.

Exclusive: Luis Diaz felt it was the right moment to leave Liverpool

Speaking exclusively to TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, Diaz’s camp revealed that the winger felt it was the right moment to leave Liverpool.

Now, a deal has been agreed for him to join Bayern Munich following what has been a record-breaking summer spend from the Reds.

The 28-year-old has loved his time on Merseyside, but the chance to secure a move to the German champions is seen as too good to turn down.

Speaking exclusively to Diaz’s camp, Bailey was told: “Luis is delighted to get the chance to play for Bayern Munich.

“He has loved his time at Liverpool and will always hold the club close to his heart, but this feels like the right time for him and Liverpool.”

Diaz follows in the footsteps of Sadio Mane in making the switch from Anfield to the Allianz Arena, but he will be hoping for greater success in Bavaria.

Now, Liverpool fans hope Rio Ngumoha can step up following the departure of the former FC Porto forward.

Ngumoha has impressed for the Reds during pre-season so far and could play a part in Arne Slot’s squad next season.

Meanwhile, TBR Football revealed on Sunday that Darwin Nunez’s move to Saudi is also progressing, which could be great news for Slot and the arrival of further reinforcements.

Sources: Newcastle United split over Alexander Isak sale

TBR Football understands that Newcastle are split over the sale of Alexander Isak, with some feeling he might have to be sold after going public.

The Tyneside club have been adamant that the Swedish striker is not for sale, but recently, Isak made public his desire to leave Newcastle this summer.

Liverpool have already made their desire to sign the 25-year-old clear and indicated they would be willing to pay a Premier League transfer record fee to get him.

Currently, that record stands at £107 million and the Reds could well return with a deal for Diaz to be sold now agreed.
