Luis Diaz, the Liverpool winger, is currently involved in transfer talks with Bayern Munich, with the Bundesliga club optimistic about securing a deal during the summer transfer window. Diaz, who is 28 years old and under contract at Liverpool until 2027, has expressed his desire to join Bayern and has already informed Liverpool of this intention. Though Bayern has made multiple offers, including a reportedly improved third bid exceeding €67.5m (around £58.5m), Liverpool remains cautious, asking for a transfer fee closer to £70m while Bayern prefers about £65m. Bayern may sweeten the deal with a sell-on clause to benefit Liverpool from any future transfers, potentially to leagues like the Saudi Pro League.[1][2][3]
Bayern’s confidence has grown partly because Liverpool has signaled a willingness to negotiate, as Diaz is considered a key player under Liverpool manager Arne Slot, having scored 17 goals last season across all competitions. However, Liverpool CEO Michael Edwards is focused on the financial ramifications, since Diaz’s departure would necessitate signing a replacement, possibly at higher wages. Diaz currently earns about £2.34 million annually, which complicates Liverpool’s valuation of the transfer fee.[1]
The dialogue between the two clubs continues, and Bayern is reportedly waiting to submit a formal third offer, with financial limits in mind but a readiness to push the fee over €80 million through bonuses. This comes as Bayern have yet to make a major signing for their attacking unit this summer and are hopeful that the deal can conclude within seven to ten days.[2][3]
Should the transfer go through, Diaz may see his career progress with Bayern, with a potential future move to the Saudi Pro League also factored in, ensuring Liverpool could gain a substantial fee down the line. The ongoing negotiations indicate a serious possibility of Diaz leaving Liverpool for Bayern, signaling a significant move in European football this summer.[1]
