Luis Diaz hopes that Bayern Munich Liverpool will make a second offer that they cannot refuse after they have told the club that he wants to leave in the summer transfer window
Bayern Munich will test the determination of Liverpool with a second bid for Luis Diaz – who is desperate to become a member of the German side. The Reds have already rejected an offer of £ 58.6 million from Bayern for the winger, but the Saga has been set to mess up.
Diaz was an important player in the side of Arne Slot last season and contributed 17 goals and eight assists in 50 performances in all competitions to help them end the campaign 2024/25 with the Premier League trophy. He has two years left of his current contract, but is considered unhappy with his current conditions and has held an improved deal.
This year, Liverpool handed Bumper new contracts to Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah-Een also tried to sign Alexander-Arnold to new terms. However, such a contract has not been hired for Diaz, Liverpool has made it clear that it is not on their task list, and the player has therefore made it clear that he wants to leave.
The Reds did not even consider Bayern's first bid and considered it far below their appreciation of the Colombia International. But Bayern is not deterred and will continue to insist on Diaz, who they see as a replacement for Leroy Sane, who left for Galatasaray this summer.
As reported by ESPN, a second bid worth around £ 60 million plus add-ons is prepared. Diaz is considered 'determined' to leave Liverpool this summer if he does not get a new deal and has told the club of his intentions.
The 28-year-old winger flew with Liverpool for their pre-season tour through Hong Kong and Japan. The Reds are preparing to play AC Milan and Yokohama F. Marinos in Asia and the recording of Diaz shows that they expect him to stay in place.
Although he has now set his sights on Bayern, Diaz initially wanted to leave for Barcelona this summer. Barca Sporting Director Deco openly admitted that the club was interested in signing him and ESPN says that an offer of £ 65 million from the Catalan giants was rejected by Liverpool.
Barca then tried to sign Nico Williams of Athletic Club, before he decided to go for Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United. With Diaz not interested in moving to Saudi Aarabia, Bayern has left the only option on the table.
Diaz has 41 goals and 23 assists in 148 games in all Liverpool games since he joined Porto in January 2022 for £ 37 million.
Liverpool sold Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold and Nat Phillips this summer, but further departure is needed. In addition to Diaz, there are doubts about the future of Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott and Ibrahima Konate.
