Writing on Instagram, Salah revealed that the Premier League giants were fortunate to have the left winger in their ranks. He also lauded Diaz's resilience and said it was an honour to share Liverpool's success story with him. He wrote:

"Your energy, drive, and passion on the pitch have left a mark that won’t be forgotten. We were truly lucky to have you at Liverpool, and it’s been an honour to share part of your journey and success story. As a teammate, you were more than reliable, you were inspiring. As a friend, even more so.

"We all saw the strength it took to keep going through the tough times off the pitch. What you went through would’ve broken most, but you came back strong and gave everything for the club. That kind of resilience sets an example for others and earns nothing but respect. Wishing you all the best for what’s next, Lucho. Keep making your people proud."

Luis Diaz recently completed an €75 million (£65m) move to join the 2024-25 Bundesliga champions. He put pen-to-paper on a four-year contract, with the option of an extra year, at Bayern Munich.

In 148 appearances across all competitions for Liverpool, Diaz delivered 41 goals and 23 assists. He also lifted one Premier League title, one FA Cup trophy, and two Carabao Cup titles at Anfield.
