Is Luis Díaz Among the Highest-Paid Players at Bayern Munich?

Luis Díaz is finally climbing the financial ladder in the elite ranks, cracking the Top 10 highest-paid players at Bayern Munich. Where does he rank and how much will he earn?

Salary boost and overdue recognition

Luis Díaz’s move to Bayern Munich isn’t just about football—it’s also a long-overdue financial upgrade. After earning just $3.68 million per season at Liverpool, the Colombian winger is finally being paid like the star he is.

German media report that Díaz will sign a four-year deal, through June 2029, earning a gross salary of €14 million, which translates to about $16.1 million per year. It’s a major leap in income, placing him firmly among Bayern’s top earners—even if not quite at the very top.

Bayern Munich’s Top 10 salaries (in USD)

While Díaz’s pay rise is substantial, he still trails behind some of Bayern’s biggest names. Still, he enters the Top 10 list, landing at eighth place among the highest earners at the club. Here's the full ranking, with all figures converted to dollars:

Harry Kane – $28.75 million
Manuel Neuer – $24.15 million
Joshua Kimmich – $23.0 million
Jamal Musiala – $21.62 million
Serge Gnabry – $21.62 million
Kingsley Coman – $19.55 million
Alphonso Davies – $17.25 million
Luis Díaz – $16.1 million
Michael Olise – $15.52 million
Leon Goretzka – $14.95 million

After ranking just 19th in salary at Liverpool, Díaz now becomes one of the Top 10 earners at one of Europe’s powerhouse clubs. The recognition has finally arrived—better late than never.

A new trident in the making

With Díaz on board, Vincent Kompany is crafting a new attacking trio following the departures of Leroy Sané and Thomas Müller, and injuries to Musiala and Coman. All signs point to a starting front line of Luis Díaz on the left, Michael Olise on the right, and Harry Kane through the middle.
