Bayern Munich is preparing to make a second, improved bid to sign Liverpool winger Luis Díaz, following an initial offer of €67.5 million (£58.6 million, $78.8 million) being rejected by Liverpool, who value the player at around €100 million (£86.8 million, $116.7 million). Díaz, 28, with two years remaining on his Liverpool contract, has expressed interest in exploring all options, and Bayern remains confident about his willingness to join if a deal with Liverpool can be reached.

The German club initially hesitated to offer over €60 million (£52 million, $69.7 million) guaranteed but has already surpassed this threshold. Personal terms between Díaz and Bayern executives, including Max Eberl, are reportedly not a significant issue, with discussions indicating a contract of at least four years could be offered.

Beyond the transfer fee, Luis Díaz is likely to receive a substantial salary at Bayern, potentially earning up to €50 million (£43.2 million) gross per year including add-ons, which may exceed his current earnings at Liverpool. The club aims to position him as a central figure in Munich, contrasting with his role at Liverpool where he is one of many key players.

Bayern also intends to sign Nick Woltemade alongside Díaz and has demonstrated financial capability for multiple significant signings without needing to offload other players. While some Bayern supporters advocate for pursuing Real Madrid winger Rodrygo instead of Díaz, the club's focus appears set on securing Díaz, reflecting their strong interest and plans to build around him as a potential star player.
