Bayern Munich make £70m Luis Diaz transfer decision as Liverpool could land huge profit
Bayern Munich are willing to pay up to £70m for Luis Diaz, talkSPORT understands. Bayern are working on a new proposal for the want-away Liverpool star after having a £58.5m bid rejected. Bayern are set to return with an improved offer for Luis DiazGetty Diaz is keen for a new challenge away from LiverpoolGetty The Premier League champions’ stance has been that Diaz is not for sale but that could change depending on how high Bayern bid and if they can source a suitable replacement. Bayern hope that the new offer will be enough for Liverpool to accept losing the Colombian who is open to a new challenge away from Anfield. The Reds would make a huge profit on Diaz should they accept £70m, having signed him for an initial fee of just £37.5m. Why are Bayern keen on signing Diaz? Bayern had made Diaz their top priority this summer after failing to land Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams. The Bavarians also targeted Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League-winning winger Bradley Barcola but were immediately rebuffed in their attempts. Diaz has reportedly already agreed personal terms with Bayern in a move that would see him earn a significantly higher wage than his current deal at Anfield. The Colombian claims he is happy at Liverpool but the opportunity to join Bayern is one that interests him. A deal for Diaz would also help soften the blow of losing playmaker Jamal Musiala who is set to miss four months of action with a fractured fibula suffered in the Club World Cup. Bayern boss Vincent Kompany is hoping club chiefs can get the deal over the line as he continues to revamp the club’s forward line. Diaz would help form a devastating forward line alongside Harry Kane and Michael Olise while Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade remains a target. It would be a big blow for Kompany if Byaern were to get knocked out hereAFP But for now, Diaz remains a Liverpool player and one that boss Arne Slot values as an important member of this squad. The 28-year-old is a part of Liverpool’s 29-man squad who have flown to Hong Kong for their pre-season tour. Liverpool had not anticipated Bayern turning their attention elsewhere after tuning down their bid. However, the Bundesliga giants are unlikely to continue their pursuit in the event that the Merseyside club decline an offer in the region of £70m. Who could replace the Colombian at Anfield? The Reds could be forced to act in the event of a sale with two targets, in particular, already drawn up. Liverpool could reignite their interest in Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon after being linked with the former Everton academy graduate last summer.
