Liverpool was genuinely affluent this summer window, but they parted with their team's tireless fighter and hidden gem, Colombian winger Diaz, for whom Bayern paid €70 million to secure.
According to the reputable data source WhoScored, Diaz’s average rating this season after moving to Bayern is the third highest among the top five leagues, trailing only Bayern teammate Kane and Real Madrid forward Mbappé, who are acknowledged as the top two strikers at present.
Diaz, aged 28, stands 1.80 meters tall, is right-footed, and primarily plays as a left winger. Transfermarkt values him at €70 million. Since joining Bayern this season, he has appeared in 6 Bundesliga matches, scoring 5 goals and providing 4 assists.
WhoScored highlights that Diaz’s average rating in the Bundesliga this season is an impressive 8.17, ranking only behind Kane (9.14) and Mbappé (8.39) across the five major leagues.
In my personal opinion, Diaz’s tactical worth goes beyond just goal involvement; he embodies fighting spirit and relentless effort. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s €125 million signing Wirtz has played 10 games across all competitions without scoring. Liverpool has sold a player they should have kept — letting go of a hidden star.
