But he was the first Colombian to wear a Liverpool jersey. Díaz's father, Luis Manuel Díaz, revealed the story behind the transfer in an interview with Columbia 'Blue Radio' at the time.
He added "Tottenham were interested, and AS Roma jumped in. However, while the two teams were hesitant and hesitant, they were chosen by Liverpool"Liverpool had a faster decision-making structure than the two teams, and they wanted it more desperately.", he explained.
Díaz made his name as the best flanker in the Portuguese league for FC Porto. Tottenham jumped first into the bid to sign Díaz. There was also news that Tottenham and Porto agreed to a transfer fee of 48 million pounds (about 89.3 billion won).
However, Liverpool joined the team late and quickly concluded the negotiations on the condition that the transfer fee included 33 million pounds (about 61.4 billion won) and 17 million pounds (about 31.6 billion won).
The joys and sorrows of the moment were stark. Díaz scored 41 goals in 148 appearances for Liverpool. The 2024-2025 season was at its peak. He contributed to Liverpool's victory by scoring 13 goals in 36 matches in the English Premier League (EPL).

Liverpool did a proper 'business' He moved to Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga and shared a team-up with Kim Min-jae.
England's 'BBC' reported on the 28th (Korea time) that Liverpool agreed to transfer Diaz for 65.5 million pounds (about 121.7 billion won), including options with Bayern.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert on European transfer markets, also chanted "HERE WE GO". He added that `Lewis will sign on the terms of signing Bayern until 2029.'
There was a tug of war. Bayern first proposed a transfer fee of 58.6 million pounds (about 109 billion won), but Liverpool rejected it. After readjusting the transfer fee, the agreement was successful.
Diaz, who is on Liverpool's Asian tour, was excluded from the 2025-2026 pre-season friendly match against AC Milan in Hong Kong on the 26th. Díaz is scheduled to fly to Germany in the next few days to undergo a medical test and complete the transfer.
Bayern were desperate to recruit Díaz. Jamal Musiala suffered a terrible injury in the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. He fractured his calf bone and dislocated his ankle, putting him on the operating table.
He is scheduled to miss a maximum of five months. Díaz plans to fill his vacancy.
