WHAT HAPPENED?
Former German midfielder Hamann argued that Bayern Munich have spent more than they ideally should have to sign Diaz, claiming that Liverpool would be laughing over the €75 million (£65m/$87m) fee they received for the Colombian. Hamann also criticised head coach Kompany for "not letting the youngsters play."
gettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
It has been an underwhelming summer of transfer business for the Bavarians, who signed none of Florian Wirtz, Nico Williams or Nick Woltemade. In fact, negotiations with Stuttgart for Woltemade have been extremely tough, with the 2024-25 DFB-Pokal winners standing their ground on demanding €65m (£56m/$75m) for the 23-year-old striker. On the other hand, there is an unsettling sensation that the Bundesliga champions have overpaid for Diaz, a 28-year-old winger who had just two years left on his contract.
WHAT DIETMAR HAMANN SAID
Speaking in an interview with Heute, Hamann said: "Diaz is a very good footballer, but what Bayern are doing isn't a business model. Bringing in a 28-year-old for that amount of money and then paying him even more than he earned in England? Liverpool are laughing. And, coach Kompany isn't letting the youngsters play. And I've heard there's talent there like there hasn't been in 10 years. Yet the German championship is still only possible through Bayern. Who else? Leverkusen will have a tough time, and it won't be Leipzig either; Dortmund is the most likely option. The benchmark for Bayern will be the Champions League."
