Bayern Munich chief Uli Hoeness has revealed that Luis Diaz's agent "gave everything" to secure his transfer from Liverpool to Bayern Munich.

The Colombian winger brought an end to a productive stint on Merseyside in the summer. Bayern ultimately shelled out £65.5 million ($88.8 million) for Diaz's signature. He was among several first-team regulars to depart the club; Darwin Nunez (to Al-Hilal), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid), Jarell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen), and Caoimhin Kelleher (Brentford) all followed Diaz through the exit door.

Hoeness has since spoken openly about Diaz's switch to Munich and has commended his agent for making the deal happen.

Speaking to Bild about agents in soccer, he said: "Luis Diaz's agent, for instance, fought hard to get him from Liverpool, which was very difficult.

"He gave everything for his client and still always spoke fairly with Liverpool. We're happy to pay someone like that."

Diaz has received widespread acclaim across his maiden campaign at Bayern, having netted 19 goals and registered a further 15 assists in just 32 appearances across all competitions.

Speaking about his performances, Bayern boss Vincent Kompany said: "He had a short break in December, which was important for him at that moment.

"But then, we had another stretch of 7 matches in 20 days in January. He has incredible energy-Lucho is a machine.

"There are tough moments at times, but he brings exactly the same intensity to training on Mondays.

"That's helped us tremendously this season."

Bayern is currently the favorite to clinch the Bundesliga title this season.

The Bavarian team sits six points ahead of fierce competitor Borussia Dortmund at the summit of the table, going into this weekend's game against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Bayern also has a great chance of winning the Champions League.

Kompany's players finished second in the league phase standings, three points behind Arsenal in first and three points ahead of Liverpool in third.
