Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is likely to exit Anfield this summer as Bayern Munich intensifies their pursuit. Despite Liverpool rejecting two previous offers — one around €52 million and another at €67.5 million — Bayern are now preparing a 'final' bid reportedly exceeding €70 million, potentially reaching €80 million, as they aim to secure the Colombian international's signing.

Diaz, whose contract at Liverpool runs until 2027, has expressed a desire to join Bayern, opening the door for negotiations, although Liverpool manager Arne Slot views him as a key squad member. Bayern's interest remains strong with hopes that Liverpool may soften their stance given their recent heavy investment in new players this summer, amounting to close to £300 million.

To prepare for the possibility of Diaz and potentially Federico Chiesa departing, Liverpool have formulated a double-exit plan and are actively considering replacements. Bavarian club Bayern's alternative target for the winger position is Malick Fofana. Meanwhile, Napoli has been linked with Chiesa, but no concrete bids are confirmed yet.

Last season, Diaz contributed 13 goals and 5 assists in 36 Premier League appearances, underscoring his importance to Liverpool's campaign. Nonetheless, with Bayern's escalating bids and Diaz’s willingness to move, Liverpool might face pressure to negotiate a transfer.

If the negotiations do not succeed, Bayern may shift their focus to other targets, while Liverpool intends to bring in a suitable winger replacement before sanctioning Diaz's exit.
