Luis Diaz’s future continues to be a major talking point this summer, despite Liverpool having made its stance clear - he’s going nowhere.

With the Reds entering the next phase of their summer transfer plans, which is likely to see a number of Arne Slot’s squad members making way, Diaz has been touted as one of those who could be offloaded.

Rumors of a move to Barcelona have followed him for over a year now - rumors that were fueled by his father admitting his son is a fan of the Catalan club.



Saudi Arabia has been touted as a potential destination, as it is for practically every player now, while Bayern Munich has emerged as a serious contender in recent days.

And it seems the German giant has stepped up its attempts to sign Diaz, having followed Barcelona’s lead in making an approach to Liverpool.

The Reds have stood firm though, and once again rejected the offer, with The Times’ Paul Joyce reporting that Bayern sporting director Max Eberl has been told Diaz is not for sale - just as Deco was told last month.

Diaz himself has never publicly shown a desire to leave Liverpool, and back in May, he suggested he could be looking at extending his stay at Anfield.

This could be for a number of reasons - being 28, he wouldn’t be in line for a long-term extension under FSG’s usual methods, and the Reds have priorities elsewhere, namely in the transfer window and Ibrahima Konate’s future.

That has led to reports back in Colombia that Diaz is upset with Liverpool, raising further questions over his future
