Luis Diaz have opened up on the role Florian Wirtz had in his decision to leave Liverpool, a career move he admits he is “glad” to make. The Colombian winger bid farewell after three-and-a-half seasons on Merseyside, signing for German champions Bayern Munich for a fee of £65.5m.

Luis Diaz says Florian Wirtz prepared him for German style of football as he clarifies about the position coach Vincent Kompany wants him to strive at.

Wirtz chose Liverpool over Bayern when leaving Bayer, but still spoke highly of his former suitor to Diaz. "I was already familiar with the German league and know roughly what kind of football is played here," Diaz told local reporters.
