Almost everyone is trying to figure out why Liverpool — after a summer of spending a ton of money to get nearly every big transfer target it wanted — is still scuffling along in January.
For former Liverpool star Daniel Sturridge, the answer is simple — the €70 million sale of Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich.
“The answer to the riddle is that Luis Díaz was the best attacker last season. Salah may have broken all the records, but Díaz was persistent in attack, pressed hard, scored goals, and created chances,
right? The sale has severely weakened the club,” Sturridge said (as captured by Sport Bild).
Díaz has been a revelation at Bayern Munich and a near-perfect fit for what the Bavarians’ attack needed. While there was some concern that the Colombian might have lost a step or even peaked, there has been no sign of him slowing down in Bavaria.
Díaz has 13 goals and seven assists in 22 games across all competitions for Bayern Munich so far this season.
