Liverpool made an unbelievable mistake with Luis Diaz

As Luis Diaz continues to shine brightly for Bayern Munich, Liverpool are the ones who regret the most for treating him unfairly.

Luis Diaz was right to leave Liverpool.

According to Ole , one of the reasons Diaz is angry with Liverpool's board and determined to leave is because of the player's incredibly low salary. Diaz's journey began at Porto, where he only received a modest salary of about 14,000 pounds/week (about 16,500 euros).

That's a reasonable figure for a young talent from South America, but when he moved to Liverpool in January 2022, Diaz only received a salary of 55,000 pounds/week, which is among the lowest at Anfield in the past three seasons. According to Capology and Spotrac , this is much lower than pillars like Mohamed Salah (350,000 pounds/week) or Virgil van Dijk (220,000/week).

It should be remembered that in September, "wunderkind" Rio Ngumoha received a salary of 29,000 pounds/week when he officially signed his first professional contract with Liverpool, just one month after his 17th birthday.

Despite his low salary, Diaz contributed 41 goals and 16 assists in 148 games, helping "The Kop" win the Premier League 2024/25 under Arne Slot. Summer 2025 marked a turning point for the Colombian player. With only 2 years left on his contract (expiring in 2027), Diaz and his agent began looking for a way out.

It's hard to believe a player like Diaz only earns £50,000 a week at Liverpool.

Liverpool refused to negotiate a new contract and pay rise, prioritizing their budget for other targets such as Florian Wirtz. Bayern, under the leadership of new coach Vincent Kompany, rushed into a fierce chase.

By July 2025, the £72 million deal was completed by Bayern. Diaz then signed a 4-year contract until 2029, receiving a salary of more than £260,000/week at Bayern, nearly 5 times higher than when he played at Liverpool.

This season, Diaz has shone brightly in Bayern's shirt. After 17 appearances in all competitions, the Colombian striker has scored 11 goals and contributed 5 assists. Diaz is proving that the money "Gray Tigers" spent in the last summer transfer period was completely worth it.
