Luis Diaz heading for medical today ahead of Bayern move

Luis Diaz is edging closer to joining Bayern Munich from Liverpool. 

After rejecting two bids for the Colombian winger, the Reds have finally reached an agreement to sell Diaz to Bayern. 

We reported on Monday that Bayern will pay around €75m [£65.5m] to sign Diaz, who scored 17 goals last season in all competitions.

The German giants are paying around €67.5m [£58.45m] upfront, and it could reach €75m [£65.5m] if add-ons are taken into account.

Luis Diaz arrives in Germany to undergo his medical

The Liverpool winger was given permission to undergo his medical, and he has left the training camp in Asia to secure his move.

Diaz will undergo his medical on Tuesday. Christian Falk has informed CFBayern that Diaz arrived for medical at 8:09 a.m. local time at Clinic Barmherzige Brüder.

The medical examination process has already started.

Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg also posted a video of Diaz upon his arrival in Germany.

Diaz will sign a four-year contract at the Allianz Arena, with Bayern having the option to extend the deal for an additional 12 months.

Bayern Munich fans will be delighted

Bayern needed to sign a new left-winger this summer following the departure of Leroy Sane, and they missed out on several targets, including Nico Williams and Bradley Barcola.

Diaz then emerged as one of their key targets, and the club were determined to land him.

Liverpool initially did not want to sell the Colombian international, who has two more years remaining on his current deal. However, Diaz personally wanted to move to Germany after negotiations over a contract extension at Anfield broke down.

Bayern were given encouragement that a deal could be struck, and they finally made an offer that Liverpool felt was too good to turn down.

Liverpool are one of the high spenders in the Premier League this summer, and they will probably use the money to reinvest in the squad to sign more players.

Bayern still need one more attacker to their ranks, and possibly a new defender, but a lot depends on whether they can ship out some of their unwanted players.
