With Kvaratskhelia Injured, PSG Want Bayern's Luis Diaz in January
French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), hit hard by Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's injury, are planning to sign Bayern Munich's Colombian forward Luis Diaz as an alternative. The information came in a report by Colombian media outlet Eriacucuta.
Ahead of the January winter transfer window, Diaz is currently at the top of PSG's list of preferences to secure a quality player for the attack.
A few weeks ago Kvaratskhelia suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury to his knee during a match against Barcelona. After doctors' examinations it was confirmed he will have to stay off the field for at least six months to recover from the injury. Fearing the attack will be weakened for the rest of the important part of the season, the Paris club want an effective alternative in January itself.
Taking Diaz from Bayern during the current season will not, however, be easy for PSG. The Colombian winger is one of the main pillars of Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany's future plans and is kept regularly in the starting eleven in every important match. Letting him go mid-season would risk creating a big void in Bayern's own attack. According to the report, Diaz himself is also comfortable at Bayern and, his close sources claim, he has no mental preparation to leave the German club right now.
Luis Diaz's current contract with Bayern runs until June 2029. In the summer transfer window of 2025 he left Liverpool to join Bayern. Since joining the German club he has played 62 matches in all competitions, scoring 31 goals and setting up a further 24 goals for teammates.
