New Delhi, Aug 1 (NationPress) Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah took to social media to express his heartfelt farewell to departing teammate Luis Diaz, who has officially signed with the Bavarian giants Bayern Munich.
The Colombian international has inked a four-year contract with the German club, concluding his three-and-a-half-year tenure at Anfield.
“Your energy, drive, and passion on the pitch have made a lasting impression that will not be forgotten. We were truly fortunate to have you at Liverpool, and it has been a privilege to be a part of your journey and success story. As a teammate, you were not just reliable — you were inspiring. As a friend, even more so.
“We all witnessed the strength it took to persevere through the challenging times off the pitch. What you endured would have broken many, but you returned stronger and gave your all for the club. That level of resilience sets a benchmark for others and deserves nothing but respect. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter, Lucho,” Salah conveyed in his post.
The Colombian forward made his move to the Reds from FC Porto in January 2022 and quickly established himself as a pivotal player under then-manager Jurgen Klopp.
Diaz made an instant impact at Anfield, captivating fans with his speed and flair. In his debut half-season, he scored six goals and provided four assists in 26 appearances, contributing to Liverpool's triumphs in both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, each won on penalties against Chelsea. He also participated in the Champions League final and narrowly missed out on securing the Premier League title that season.
A significant knee injury in the 2022-23 season momentarily interrupted his progress, but Diaz rebounded, gradually regaining his exceptional form. Over the subsequent two seasons, he participated in 101 matches, netting 30 goals and assisting 10 times.
The 2024-25 season saw him transition to a new role as a central striker under new head coach Arne Slot. Diaz flourished in this position, scoring 17 goals across all competitions — including 13 in the Premier League — as Liverpool clinched the league title with four matches remaining.
In total, Diaz leaves Liverpool with four major trophies, a Premier League title, and a reputation as one of the team’s most dynamic attackers.
