Barcelona Joins Bayern in Luis Diaz Transfer Pursuit

Luis Diaz is the subject of heavy transfer interest from both Bayern Munich and Barcelona after Nico Williams renewed with Athletic Club. Despite Diaz reportedly agreeing personal terms with Bayern and admitting to talks with interested clubs, Liverpool have told both suitors he is not for sale this summer. However, a verbal agreement exists that could see Diaz leave if an €80–85 million bid is made, a valuation Barcelona may struggle to meet while Bayern remain financially capable. Diaz, who helped Liverpool win the 2024/25 Premier League title, has a contract until 2027 with no current extension offered. Transfer negotiations have paused out of respect following a recent bereavement involving teammate Diogo Jota. Diaz’s future remains uncertain, hinging on whether Liverpool's price is met and the club's willingness to negotiate.
