On this occasion, the former player Steve Nicol He brought up the topic again AM850 FC and he was honest, highlighting that “no one said it was bad” at the time the transfer was finalized.

Lucho’s departure from England It was one of the most recurring themes in recent months. After failed negotiations for salary improvement and contract extension, the Colombian found his new home in Bayern Munich. A place to grow, have fun and, above all, raise your level right in the year of the World Cup.

With Bayern, Díaz accumulates a total of 36 G/A so far this season. He has already scored 20 goals in total, surpassing his personal record, and It became an irreplaceable piece for Vincent Kompany.

Your unbeatable present is contrasted with an irregular Liverpool seasonwho after being Premier champion and reinforce itself with millions of dollars is not fulfilling a campaign similar to 2024-25.

In the transfer window, the Reds let Díaz go for 75 million and they hired players like Ekitike, Wirtz and Isaac. Something that continues to be a point of criticism for the Liverpool board despite the fact that many fans agreed at that time.

As time passed, the topic of conversation was once again on the table and now Steve Nicol, former club player and legend who won several titles in England.

In AM850 FC, Nicol He joined the voices that pointed out that at the time the departure of Díaz “it was fine”referring to the money deposited and how it was used.

“You spent money on Gakpo and Wirtz, you also had Gakpo and you get an offer of 70, 75 million for a 29-year-old player. I mean, I think it’s very easy to talk to Monday’s newspaper, right? Then It seemed like a big deal. get that money for Díaz when you already had Gakpo and were going to hire Wirtz and Isak. At that time many people did not complain, of all the so-called “experts” none said that Liverpool was crazy, was wrong or questioned why they did that“he commented.

The reality is that the business ended up being more beneficial for Díaz than for Liverpool. The guajiro moved to Munich, formed a lethal trident with Kane and Olise and remains in the fight for the treble of the season, being serious candidates for the Champions League title. In Englandfor its part, they miss the spark and speed of the Colombian National Team player.
