Luis Diaz’s Liverpool future has been in question for some time now.
The attacker only has two years left on his deal, and with no signs of an extension coming anytime soon, Bayern Munich and Barcelona have both shown an interest in acquiring his services.
Since the transfer window opened at the start of June, rumours about Diaz’s future have circulated, with Barcelona even having their initial offer rebuffed.
Diaz has always been one of their main targets, with The Athletic journalist David Ornstein now sharing that Liverpool have rejected a €67.5million (£58.5million) offer for him.
“Bayern Munich submit official bid to sign Luis Diaz from Liverpool,” he wrote via his personal X account.
Colombia int’l has made clear he wants to leave.”
Even though Diaz was one of the Reds’ most important attackers last season, it doesn’t make sense for Liverpool to keep him for two years and then allow him to leave for nothing.
The attacker may have contributed to 25 goals across all competitions for Liverpool last term, but for the right price, it’d be worth them selling him.
Indeed, the £58.5million bid may be somewhat low, but if a bid closer to £70million came in, the Reds would be silly to turn it down, especially since Diaz now wants to leave.
So, unless Slot wants to offer him an extension, Liverpool should consider Bayern’s bid, that is, especially since they’ve already spent close to £200million on new players this summer.
