The Bundesliga champions at last have the wide forward they’ve been craving, and he could hardly be more suited to complementing their No.9
Bayern Munich have long been in the market for a new left winger to raise the ceiling of their team. It’s been five years since the electric wide duo of Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman helped fire them to Champions League glory, and though they both remain at the club, they are not the offensive weapons they once were.

There were sceptics in Bavaria when Bayern decided to drop Β£51 million (β¬60m) on Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise last summer, butΒ he has gone someway to silencingΒ them after aΒ spectacular debut campaign at the Allianz Arena. What became clear throughout 2024-25, though, was that they still needed another attacker in their ranks.
In Bayern’s dream world,Β they would have landed Nico Williams. Much like Barcelona, they were left disappointed and probably a little shocked that he decided toΒ sign a new 10-year contract at Athletic ClubΒ instead. They were also after Florian Wirtz, but baulked at Bayer Leverkusen’s nine-figure asking price, while Paris Saint-Germain have no intention to sell Bradley
That’s led them to Luis Diaz, who has been given the green light to leave Liverpool for roughly Β£65m ($87m). Again, there are some question marks over the deal, but they ignore one of the most significant aspects of it – this will get the best out of star striker Harry Kane.
Harry Kane has his perfect partner! Bayern Munich have overpaid for Luis Diaz, but he is the ideal winger to pair with the England captain

Nearly crossed paths before
This is not the first time that a club has had plans to pair Diaz with Kane. During the 2022 winter transfer window, Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte and director of football Fabio Paratici saw the Colombian as the ideal third prong of an attack which also featured eventual Golden Boot winner Son Heung-min. Spurs were close to a Β£50m deal, but Liverpool, who had earmarked Diaz as a summer target, swooped into action to get their man.
“We like pretty much everything about him,” Jurgen Klopp said after completing the signing. “I’ve followed him for a while – exceptional. Skillset and character. Really happy we could get him in now. His story so far is a special one. I like that. Now he’s one of us. We can’t wait to welcome him here.”
Even though the north Londoners seemed content with Juventus’ Dejan Kulusevski as their alternative option, it would have been interesting to see Diaz and Kane together at the peak of both of their powers rather than towards the latter stages of their respective physical primes.
