Liverpool have made their stance loud and clear — Luis Diaz is going nowhere this summer.
Despite Bayern Munich stepping up interest in the Colombian star, the Reds have reportedly rejected a bid and informed the German club that the player is not for sale.
Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl made a formal approach to discuss a potential transfer, but Liverpool quickly shut the door.
And honestly, who could blame them?
Diaz was one of the many bright sparks for Liverpool last season.
While Bayern are still hunting for a winger after Leroy Sane’s exit, Diaz won’t be packing his bags for Bavaria anytime soon.

According to reports from Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas, Liverpool sees Diaz as vital to their future plans.
Despite Diaz reportedly being open to a move earlier to Barcelona, Liverpool are simply not interested in negotiating.
Ben Jacobs of CBS adds that Al-Nassr hasn’t made an offer yet, but even if one comes, it would “take a crazy offer” for Liverpool to even consider changing their mind.
Diaz’s contract runs until 2027, and with the club focused on challenging for silverware again, keeping hold of their No.
A Diaz departure would leave a massive gap — and Liverpool aren’t in the mood to shop for a replacement.
