Luis Díaz is heading into his second Bundesliga season at Bayern Munich, who signed him from Liverpool in summer 2025, and is in the side for the 2026–27 opener against Stuttgart on 28 August.

Career

The Colombian winger came through Barranquilla and Junior, starred at Porto, then joined Liverpool in 2022. Bayern paid a reported €70 million — the club’s third-highest fee — to take him to Munich in 2025.

In 2025–26 he produced a huge first season: Transfermarkt recorded 15 Bundesliga goals and 17 assists in 32 league games. He already has the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup on his Bayern ledger, including the 2–1 win over Dortmund on 22 August 2026.

How they play

Where they are now

Infobae reported on 28 August 2026 that his first Bundesliga appearance of 2026–27 is scheduled against VfB Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. ESPN lists him as Bayern forward #14, with a Super Cup start against Dortmund already in the book.
