Luis Diaz joined Bayern Munich from Liverpool last summer after a three-and-a-half-year spell at Anfield. Signed by Jurgen Klopp in early 2022, Diaz won major honours during his time in England and was part of the side that secured Premier League success in his final weeks on Merseyside.
He completed a permanent move to the Bundesliga ahead of the 2025–26 season and has continued his strong form in Germany, establishing himself as one of the standout attackers in Europe.

On a personal note, Diaz’s partner Gera Ponce gave birth to a son on Monday, May 11. The couple shared images from the hospital, including the newborn wrapped in a blue cloth and wearing a white hat, with Diaz pictured alongside the family.
The post was captioned: “FERNANDO 11/05/2026. More love. More life. More of us. One more dream of our hearts come true.”
Ponce also posted further photos showing the family together in the hospital room, celebrating the arrival of their son alongside their two daughters.
The announcement comes months after the couple revealed the pregnancy, which Diaz marked during a Bundesliga match celebration in December.
“Thank you, my God, for all your blessings, for a year full of love and new beginnings, and for our son, the greatest gift that is on his way to complete our home,” Gera said.
The arrival of Fernando Díaz comes after the couple welcomed their second child in January 2024. Charlotte Diaz was born on January 25, a date that also marked the couple’s seventh anniversary.
Announcing her birth, Gera Ponce said: “Charlotte is such a long-awaited and desired little girl, who came into our lives with incredible magic. God has blessed us with our daughter. Charlotte has arrived to fill us with laughter, love and unforgettable moments.” The couple also have their first daughter, Roma Díaz, born in 2021.
Luis Diaz has been sensational for Bayern Munich this season, helping them win the 2025–26 Bundesliga title with several matches to spare.
The Colombia forward has made 49 appearances in all competitions, scoring 26 goals and registering 21 assists, underlining his impact since arriving in Germany.
Bayern Munich reached the semi-finals of this season’s UEFA Champions League before being knocked out by holders Paris Saint-Germain, losing 6-5 on aggregate.
Luis Diaz was on the scoresheet in Paris as Bayern exited the competition. Vincent Kompany’s side have also reached the final of the DFB-Pokal, where they will face VfB Stuttgart on May 23.
