European giants Bayern Munich are reportedly planning a €60 million move to sign Liverpool star Luis Diaz this summer. The Colombian winger has been linked to an exit from Anfield, with multiple clubs across Europe interested.
Despite the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona expressing interest in Luis Diaz's services, Liverpool are reportedly not open to negotiations for him. The Reds value the Colombian for a reported €80 million, which neither Bayern nor Barca are willing to shell out. Moreover, the Merseysiders are going through a difficult time after the tragic passing of Portuguese forward Diogo Jota. Therefore, it is unlikely for them to get back into transfer decisions with full vigour anytime soon. Previous reports also indicated that the Reds rejected offers for Diaz this summer.
According to journalist Christian Falk (h/t The Anfield Talk), Luis Diaz has expressed his interest in joining Bayern Munich this summer. The player's interest motivated the Bavarian giants to make a move and open negotiations with Liverpool. However, Bayern are willing to pay around €60 million plus bonuses for the Colombian for now.
Apart from Bayern Munich, Barcelona are also reportedly focused on signing Luis Diaz this summer. However, the Catalans' difficult financial situation could hamper the deal, especially after they failed to sign Nico Williams due to similar registration issues.
Moreover, Barca are unable to match Liverpool's asking price for Diaz as well. It remains to be seen if Bayern Munich can increase their offer to facilitate negotiations with the Reds this summer.

According to Fichajes.net, Liverpool have reportedly joined the race to sign Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo this summer. Arsenal and Manchester City are also keen on securing his signature.
Rodrygo is reportedly close to leaving Los Blancos after losing his relevance in the squad last season. The Brazilian's playtime has decreased significantly, especially after new coach Xabi Alonso's arrival. He has played only 210 minutes over five appearances in the FIFA Club World Cup, whilst being a starter in only one match. With the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Jude Bellingham in the squad, it is unlikely for his situation to improve in the upcoming season.
Given Rodrygo's situation, Premier League giants have piqued their interest in the Brazilian. Arsenal and Manchester City have been linked to the forward for a while now, while Liverpool are working to make a formal offer, per the report. The Reds were hunting the market for another forward this summer, and Rodrygo could be a great fit.
However, the Merseysiders have already spent a record amount on signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in this window. Real Madrid are unlikely to let go of Rodrygo for a small fee, making the deal potentially difficult for them. Meanwhile, Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr are also reportedly in the race to sign Rodrygo, although the Brazilian is believed to prioritize a move to the Premier League.
