Bayern Munich are preparing to submit a renewed offer for Luis Diaz as they intensify efforts to land the Liverpool winger.
The Bundesliga club has already seen two bids rejected but remain determined to get a deal done for their top attacking target.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern are readying a new approach after their previous €67m (£58m) proposal was turned down.
Liverpool, however, have made it clear they will not entertain offers below €80m (£69.2m).
The Merseyside club is not actively pushing Diaz toward the exit but acknowledges the Colombian’s desire to leave.

While reports suggest Diaz has agreed personal terms with Bayern and informed Liverpool of his preference to move, the Reds are standing firm.
The club values the 28-year-old highly, especially after a 17-goal campaign where he often proved unplayable.
Christian Falk has reported that Bayern Munich hope to arrange a direct meeting with Liverpool to negotiate a resolution.
Still, unless their new offer represents a significant increase, Liverpool are unlikely to budge.
Fabrizio also reports that Barcelona remains in contact with Diaz’s camp, but Bayern appear the frontrunners for now.
Liverpool’s position is straightforward: either meet the price or move on.
With Diaz being a vital part of Arne Slot’s plans, the Reds won’t be rushed or lowballed into a deal they deem unworthy.
