Liverpool have rejected a £58.6m bid from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz.
The Reds received the offer from the Bundesliga champions on Tuesday but it was immediately rebuffed. Diaz, 28, is understood to be interested in making the move but Liverpool do not want to sell the Colombia winger.
The club value him in excess of £86m (€100m) but remain steadfast that he is not for sale and they’re not putting a price on him.
The feeling is the market this summer for an attacking midfielder was set by Saudi interest in Bruno Fernandes, who valued the Manchester United captain at £86m and he is also two years older than Diaz.
