Sources: Liverpool receive approach from Champions League giants for 'world-class' star

Liverpool have rejected an approach from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz, which was made on Tuesday night, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

It's been a busy start to the summer transfer window for Liverpool, with Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, and Jeremie Frimpong arriving through the door at Anfield. Trent Alexander-Arnold left the club to join Real Madrid after his contract expired, and we could see other players head through the exit door before the end of the window.

Diaz arrived at Liverpool back in 2022, with the Merseyside club securing him late in the January transfer window. The Colombian forward has played a crucial role since signing on the dotted line, and they have no intention of allowing him to depart in the coming weeks and months.

Luis Diaz in action for Liverpool

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Liverpool have formally rebuffed attempts by Bundesliga outfit Bayern Munich to engage over a deal for winger Diaz. An approach was made on Tuesday night, but Bayern chief Max Eberl has been informed that Liverpool have no intention or desire to enter in discussions for the Colombian international.

Communication ended immediately, and it's the second time this summer that Liverpool have taken this stance. The Reds issued the same message to Barcelona earlier in the transfer window, and they will now entertain any approaches for Diaz, with the message being clear that he is not for sale, according to sources.

Luis Diaz's statistics for Liverpool this season

Club executives at Anfield are prioritising 'team performance' in their stance on Diaz, who has been described as 'world-class' by journalist Neil Docking, viewing him and his contribution as pivotal to the coming season. It will take a crazy offer from Al-Nassr to change Liverpool's position, with their interest believed to be firm.

Bayern have several other targets for the left-hand side of attack, with Nico Williams their top choice, but that is dependent on whether Barcelona can get it over the line as he would prefer a move to the Catalan giants. Marcus Rashford has also been discussed by Bayern.
