Liverpool football player takes measures to safeguard his personal interests amidst potential complications in a potential transfer to Barcelona, according to a report

In a surprising turn of events, Luis Diaz has officially transferred from Liverpool to Bayern Munich, ending a transfer saga that involved Barcelona. The German football giants have raised their offer above 67.5 million euros, securing the Colombian international's services.

The move comes after Bayern Munich, Bundesliga champions, showed interest in Diaz throughout this transfer window. Deco, the sporting director of Barcelona, is reportedly aware of Bayern's admiring gaze upon the Colombian star. However, Barcelona's financial problems and constraints in player registration due to Spanish authorities may have played a part in Diaz's decision to join Bayern.

Diaz had a successful period with Liverpool, contributing significantly to their victories. In the 2024-25 season, he started 28 times and appeared in 36 of their 38 league matches, scoring 13 Premier League goals. Mohamed Salah was the only Liverpool player to score more Premier League goals than Diaz during that season.

Barcelona had initially shown interest in Diaz as well, but the potential non-registration concerns and the request for a 'sporting damage' compensation clause by Diaz's representatives may have hindered the deal. These issues were not unfamiliar to Barcelona, as they had faced similar problems with the non-immediate registration of Dani Olmo earlier in the year.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are expected to compete on four fronts in the 2025-26 season, potentially providing Diaz with plenty of playing time. However, the club is reportedly keen to retain Diaz, who has two years left on his contract. The departure of Diaz leaves a gap on Liverpool's left-hand side operations, which is expected to be filled by Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez in the upcoming season.

The failure of Barcelona to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams was partially due to similar concerns about potential non-registration. Williams' representatives had also pushed for a release clause to protect him from the consequences of potential non-registration.

As Diaz begins his new chapter at Bayern Munich, the transfer market continues to buzz with activity, with teams across Europe vying for top talent.
