Liverpool receive £45m bid for their star Luis Diaz from Bayern Munich. The German side have officially made a move as interest in the winger heats up.
Bayern Munich Make Opening Move for Diaz
Liverpool star Luis Diaz has now become a top target for Bayern Munich. The German giants have submitted an opening offer of £45m for the Colombian international.
According to Sport BILD, Diaz is heading into the final year of his contract at Anfield. This has sparked interest across Europe and beyond. Barcelona and several Saudi clubs have already shown strong intent. But, it’s Bayern who have taken the first formal step.
Reportedly, new Bayern boss Vincent Kompany already has an agreement in place with the winger on personal terms. This shows that the player is open to the move. The player seems unhappy over the slow progress in contract talks with the Reds. So, he is believed to be considering a fresh start.
However, Liverpool are in no rush to sell. They have already turned down earlier interest from Barcelona. They still maintain that Diaz remains a key part of their plans under new manager Arne Slot. Meanwhile, the club acknowledges there’s an agreement that could be allow the forward to leave for the right fee. Given that, the number is understood to be at least £69m. The current offer of £45m falls short of that valuation. So, unless Bayern raise their bid, Liverpool are likely to reject the proposal.
Liverpool Stand Firm on Valuation
Despite Diaz’s interest in a new challenge, Liverpool are standing their ground. They see him as a world-class winger who still has plenty to offer at Anfield. Although, the German club may be willing to go up to £52m. However, that is still well below Liverpool’s asking price. Unless there’s a big increase in Bayern’s bid, this deal remains unlikely to go through in the near future.
The situation may develop as the transfer window progresses. But as it stands, Diaz remains a Liverpool player for now.
