Liverpool’s Luis Diaz has left the club’s Japan training camp to finalize a €75m (£65m) transfer to Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga giants submitted an improved offer on Sunday, bringing it closer to Diaz’s market value, which Liverpool found acceptable.
Diaz received permission from the club to leave Tokyo, where the team was preparing to face Yokohama F. Marinos on Wednesday.

They are also maintaining interest in Alexander Isak, the Newcastle forward reportedly seeking a move away from his current club.
Diaz originally cost Liverpool £42m with £3.4m in add-ons, making his transfer to Bayern a considerable profit for the club.
His sale means Liverpool’s total income from player transfers over the past year will now surpass £190 million in total earnings.
The move marks a major shift for both Diaz and Liverpool ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
