Luis Diaz has admitted his move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich was 'a big gamble' after sounding out new Reds signing Florian Wirtz before completing the £65million switch.
The 28-year-old wasted little time making an impact in Bavaria, scoring the decisive goal on his debut in a 2-1 Super Cup win over Stuttgart.
His finish offered Bayern fans a glimpse of why the club were willing to break the bank on a player in the latter stages of his career.
The German giants were willing to meet the Reds' high asking price after his contributions to Arne Slot's Premier League winning side, with Vincent Kompany keen on his addition to freshen up the Bayern attack.
