Liverpool's stance on Luis Diaz remains firm as Bayern Munich seeks to revive talks over a potential transfer of the Colombian winger. According to Sky Sports News, the German giants had their initial £58.5m bid rejected earlier this month, but they continue to pursue the player, believing Diaz may be open to a move. Meanwhile, Liverpool has reiterated that Diaz is not for sale, valuing him at over £86m (£100m+), and has not set a specific sale price due to his importance to the squad.

The Reds, who won the Premier League title last season with Diaz contributing 13 goals in 36 appearances, have made it clear to all interested clubs—including Barcelona—that the 26-year-old is a key asset for the foreseeable future. His contract at Anfield expires in 2027, and Liverpool insists he will remain a central figure in their attacking plans. However, Diaz has previously expressed openness to leaving during the last two transfer windows, though his consistent performances have shifted the narrative.

Bayern’s persistent interest comes amid growing speculation about Diaz’s potential departure, with clubs in Saudi Arabia also rumored to be monitoring his situation. The winger’s market value has been likened to that of Bruno Fernandes, who was recently valued at around £86.8m by the Saudi league. Despite this, Liverpool’s hierarchy has not wavered, with manager Jürgen Klopp emphasizing Diaz’s role as a “critical piece” of their future ambitions.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher weighed in on the situation, acknowledging the dilemma faced by fans. “Some want him to stay and others think it’s time to sell,” he noted. “Diaz has been one of the standout left wingers this season, but the club’s focus is on long-term stability rather than short-term gains.” Carragher also highlighted the uncertainty surrounding Liverpool’s attacking lineup, suggesting that Diaz’s future hinges on the team’s broader strategic direction.

As the summer transfer window progresses, both clubs are navigating a delicate balance. While Bayern’s interest persists, Liverpool’s refusal to compromise on their valuation signals a cautious approach. The situation remains fluid, with no formal offer yet exchanged, but Diaz’s potential departure continues to dominate transfer rumors.
