In the 6th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern defeated Frankfurt 3-0, Diaz scored 2 shots and made 3 goals, and has contributed 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 games since joining Bayern. The Athletic commented on the once controversial transfer.

TA said that when Bayern pursued him this summer, a common reaction was to criticize the club for being willing to pay such a high fee for a player in his 30s.

The final 70 million euros plus additional terms transfer fee is indeed expensive for a player who will be over 29 in the middle of his debut season.

Considering the problems that the club has in the past and present when dealing with long-term high-paying contracts, such as Gretzka, Koeman, etc., the four-year contract for Dias has also caused some doubts.

Obviously, this is a signing involving significant sunk costs, but it is wrong to think that all transfers must be based on resale value as a strategy.

Bayern chose Diaz because he is the best candidate to win this summer window. For now, his joining can immediately bring the team's offense to the Champions League competition level.
