A chain of strikers continues.
Luis Díaz, who played for Liverpool, will move to Bayern Munich. The BBC reported on the 28th (Korea time) that `Liverpool and Bayern have agreed to transfer to Díaz.' The transfer fee is estimated at 75 million euros (about 121.7 billion won) including options. An official announcement is expected after MedicalTes. Díaz, who is currently in Japan for a friendly with Yokohama Marinos, will leave Liverpool's squad and board a flight to Germany.

Bayern shot Díaz as a replacement for Leroy Zane, who left for Galatasaray in Turkiye. Even Jamal Musiala collapsed due to long-term injuries, and he desperately needed to recruit a clear striker. Bayern sought to recruit Diaz, who played a leading role in Liverpool's victory last season through active negotiations. Liverpool, however, expressed opposition to Díaz's release. Bayern continued to send an upgraded offer and was on the verge of signing Díaz. Díaz from Colombia joined Liverpool in January 2022 and scored 41 goals in 148 official matches. Last season, he contributed to Liverpool's victory by scoring 13 goals with an 18.3% success rate in the Premier League (EPL).
Liverpool, which sent Díaz, plan to go all-in on Newcastle's signing of Alexander Isak. Liverpool, which spent a whopping £269 million bringing in Florian Birtz and Hugo Ekitike, was forced to release due to financial fair play rules. Liverpool, which paid for the transfer by sending Diaz, will offer more than £100 million to Isaac. Isaac is close to going to Liverpool, being excluded from the Korean tour list.
Isaac, who gave Newcastle the League Cup and European Champions League tickets with 23 goals and six assists last season, was a key Newcastle striker in name and reality. Newcastle, who suddenly lost their ace, entered Plan B. The replacement is Benjamin Seschko. Sechuko was called the "second Holan" early on in that he was tall and had explosive speed. His scoring ability is lower than that of Holan, but he is expected to grow into a better player than Elling Holan in that he has shooting, depression and dribbling ability.
Initially, Seschko negotiated with Arsenal, but there was nowhere for Arsenal to go as they brought in Victor Jockeres. Newcastle entered negotiations with Seschuko as a replacement for Isak.
