Liverpool Accepts €75M Bayern Munich Bid for Luis Diaz

Bayern Munich has reached an agreement with Liverpool to sign Colombian forward Luis Diaz for a fee reportedly around €75 million after submitting an improved offer following an initial bid of approximately €67.5 million being rejected. Diaz, 28, who joined Liverpool in 2022 and was instrumental in their 2024-25 Premier League title, expressed his desire to leave the club amid competition from new signings like Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz. Liverpool has permitted Diaz to leave their preseason tour in Asia to finalize the transfer, with both clubs expected to finalize contractual details soon, including performance-related bonuses. Bayern sees Diaz as a versatile attacking option following Leroy Sane's departure and plans to offer him a four-year contract with a significant wage increase. Liverpool is also focusing on acquiring new talent, including Alexander Isak, as they reshape their squad. Diaz was notably left out of Liverpool's recent preseason friendly against AC Milan due to ongoing transfer speculation, with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot acknowledging the rumors but praising Diaz's training performance.
