""You always miss good football players," Slot began (via X account @iMiaSanMia). "He was so important for us last season, but he wasn't the only one. There were more players that were influential in our results. But I think we have replaced them with very good players as well.""
""If this club gets, for a 28-year-old, an offer like that, then this club, because it is built on sustainability, chooses to sell a player and we are an exception in the Premier League, especially at the top of the Premier League, for that. But that is why it is also so nice that we are able to achieve the things we have achieved in the last few years with that model.""
"Díaz now has 33 goal contributions in 31 matches in all competitions for the Bavarians, stats that most of the current Liverpool attackers can only dream of (looking at you, Florian)."
Liverpool accepted Bayern Munich's bid for Luis Díaz and sold him after failing to agree a new contract and due to the player's desire to leave. Arne Slot defended the sale as consistent with a sustainability-driven club model that prioritizes long-term financial planning and selective selling when offers for established players arrive. Slot noted that several influential players left but were replaced with very good players and that Bayern made an offer too attractive to refuse. Díaz has excelled at Bayern with 33 goal contributions in 31 matches, underscoring the quality Liverpool lost and the transfer rationale.
