During a transfer window of intense speculation, Liverpool Football Club appears to be nearing a major squad shakeup, with winger Luis Díaz potentially departing for Bayern Munich as the Reds pursue a record-breaking move for Newcastle United's Alexander Isak.
According to journalist reports, Díaz has requested Liverpool allow him to join Bayern Munich if the club is unwilling to offer him a new contract. Liverpool, despite initial hesitation, now seem prepared to sanction his exit, clearing the way for what would be one of the most significant transfers of the summer.
Bayern Munich have been persistent in their pursuit of the Colombian winger, having already seen two previous offers—first for €52 million and then for €67.5 million—rebuffed by Liverpool[1]. Journalists such as Christian Falk and Colombian reporter Pipe Sierra indicate that talks between the clubs have escalated, with Bayern increasingly confident of finally securing Díaz's signature. The German champions are determined to negotiate a deal directly, rather than risk a third rejected proposal.
This potential move coincides with Liverpool's ambitious pursuit of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, with reports suggesting the club is preparing a British record bid to bring the Swedish international to Anfield. Should Díaz depart, his exit would signal a significant shift in Liverpool's attacking options.
Díaz enjoyed the most productive season of his Liverpool career last year, netting 17 goals in all competitions and playing a key role in their Premier League title success[2]. Nevertheless, with two years left on his contract and Díaz seemingly determined to join Bayern, the stage is set for a possible farewell.
As of the latest reports, talks between Liverpool and Bayern Munich continue, with the latter having now made a third, improved offer for Díaz[4]. With the transfer window moving at a rapid pace, all eyes remain on how this saga—and Liverpool's chase for Isak—will unfold over the coming days.
