Bayern Munich is preparing to intensify their pursuit of Liverpool winger Luis Díaz by submitting an improved offer, with reports indicating a potential bid in the region of €75-80 million (£65-70 million). This comes after Liverpool rejected Bayern’s initial €67.5 million (£58.6 million) proposal, maintaining a firm stance that the Colombian international is not for sale ahead of the new season.

The German champions have identified Díaz as their top forward target following failed moves for Nico Williams and Florian Wirtz, both of whom joined Liverpool earlier in the transfer window. Despite Liverpool’s public insistence on retaining Díaz, Bayern remain determined to test the club’s resolve, especially now that Díaz is reportedly keen on a move to the Bundesliga. Journalist Ben Jacobs has confirmed that Bayern are ready to significantly raise their offer, potentially making it one of the summer’s biggest transfers.

Bayern’s renewed interest follows several rounds of negotiations, including direct talks over the weekend. The pressure on Liverpool is mounting, as Díaz has apparently agreed to personal terms with the Bavarian club. Should Liverpool accept, manager Arne Slot is expected to seek a replacement, with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo emerging as a possible target. The club has already bolstered their squad with high-profile signings such as Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and is set to add Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.

While Barcelona was once considered Díaz’s preferred destination, the Catalan club has shifted their focus to Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, leaving the path clear for Bayern. Liverpool’s board, however, remains publicly committed to retaining Díaz unless an offer is “too good to turn down”—a scenario that could soon materialize with Bayern’s imminent bid.

The situation underscores the fluid nature of the transfer market, as Liverpool weigh the financial benefits of a sale against the potential impact on their squad depth and title ambitions. With Díaz’s future in the balance, the next days could prove pivotal for both clubs, and for the player himself.
