Liverpool have had to say a few painful goodbyes to some star players in recent times.
Trent Alexander-Arnold left the club for Real Madrid this summer in what was a very emotional move, while Sadio Mane left for Bayern Munich a few years ago.
Now, it appears another Liverpool star is set to leave as Luis Diaz closes in on a move to Bayern Munich.
Speaking to CGTN Sports, Ian Rush has been discussing Diaz’s impending Anfield departure, and, the Liverpool legend had some very kind words to share about the winger as he gears up to leave Anfield this summer.

Rush spoke about Diaz ahead of his potential move to Bayern Munich.
The Liverpool legend says Diaz has done fantastically for Liverpool, stating that if this is indeed the end for the attacker on Merseyside, he’ll leave behind a great legacy.
“Well, he’s (Diaz) done fantastic for Liverpool, I think he scored 13 goals last season for Liverpool and a lot of assists as well. We will wait and see, but what I would say is that if he stays or if he goes he’s done a fantastic job for Liverpool Football Club,” Rush said.

Diaz probably won’t go down as one of Liverpool’s all-time greats, but he’ll be remembered as a very talented player who provided some memorable moments for the Kop over the years.
At the age of 28 and with new signings on the way, now may be the right time for Diaz to leave, and if his departure leads to a potential move for Alexander Isak, he’ll likely leave with most fans’ blessing.
