Luis Diaz continues to be the subject of transfer interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

The Colombian has two years left on his current contract, but after deciding he doesn’t earn enough at the club, he has seemingly decided to seek a new adventure in the hopes of securing a higher financial package elsewhere.

Bayern Munich have pushed the hardest to sign Luis Diaz so far, as two bids hve been rejected for the Colombian, with a third bid set to arrive soon according to Fabrizio Romano.

Whilst the Bavarians have expressed a stronger interest thus far, as they look to replace Leroy Sane who has departed for Galatasary, Barcelona remain in the conversation.

Barcelona are aware that they cannot pay as much for Luis Diaz, or offer as high a salary, but the La Liga side remain a favoured destination for most professional football players.

Mundo Deportivo have reported the maximum transfer fee that Barcelona can offer Liverpool for Luis Diaz.

“FC Barcelona is clear that it is not going to commit crazy things for Luis Diaz, which translated into numbers, means that it does not plan to go beyond 60 million, something that it has planned since the beginning of the market.”

So, Bayern Munich’s last bid was 67million euros, which could suggest they are ahead in the race to sign Luis Diaz as that was not enough to convince Liverpool to sell their player.

If Barcelona cannot spend above 60million euros on Luis Diaz, they face an uphill battle to secure his services.

The situation to let Luis Diaz go remains complicated at Liverpool due to several factors.

Liverpool have been linked to the likes of Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt, Alexander Isak of Newcastle and Rodryo Goes of Real Madrid but no deal has been agreed so far.

Any finalisation of these deals could open the exit door for Luis Diaz, but until that happens, it is likely the Colombian will stay put.

Barcelona’s priority remains to strengthen the left-wing position, but it remains to be seen whether they will change their stance on Luis Diaz if they can see their target slipping away to Bayern Munich.
