The potential move by Louis Diaz to Bayern Munich is becoming one of the outstanding transfer stories of the Summer Window.
Sources have been confirmed that are close to the player’s situation Catch off side The Colombian winger has verbally agreed to join the German giants that he has “expressed his desire to leave Liverpool.” Diaz has already agreed to personal terms with Bayern Munich over a five-year contract.
Bayern Munich failed two offers
Bayern Munich initially presented an opening bid of 52 million euros, which was quickly rejected by Liverpool. The second offer worth €67.5 million also failed to convince Reds that it is postponing it at a rate of €8,000-85 million based on Díaz’s performance level and rising market value.
Bayern Munich is reluctant to exceed 70 million euros on fixed payments and prefer to make up for the difference between add-ons and performance-based bonuses.
Beyond finances, Diaz’s transfer also brings emotional weight. He has rejected multiple contract extension offers from Liverpool, revealing that he wants new challenges.
Barcelona has shown interest but continues to stand by due to budget constraints. Meanwhile, Saudi clubs Al Nassr and Al Hilal are willing to offer packages worth more than 80 million euros, but Díaz’s strong desire to stay in Europe makes those proposals less appealing.
Can Bayern Munich convince Liverpool to sell Louis Diaz?
It will be interesting to see if the German champions are willing to improve their offers and come back with acceptable suggestions. It’s clear that Liverpool won’t let him leave for a knockdown. He is now one of the best offensive players in the Premier League and it makes no sense for Liverpool to sell him for a cut-off fee.
Bayern Munich needs a wide range of players like Diaz after Leroy Sane’s departure, and it’s fair to assume they will eventually return with an offer accepted by the players.
