Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is on the verge of a move to Bayern Munich, with a fee of €75m reportedly agreed upon. The transfer is expected to significantly boost Liverpool’s pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
Bayern Munich’s second offer for Diaz has reportedly been accepted after their initial bid was rejected. Diaz has agreed to a four-year contract with the German champions and is awaiting permission to travel to complete the transfer. This follows Liverpool’s significant summer spending spree, which has already seen them invest close to £300m on new players.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed Diaz’s absence from the recent friendly against AC Milan was due to the transfer speculation. The sale of Diaz, along with potential sales of other players like Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott, could generate over £150m for Liverpool, significantly improving their financial position to pursue Isak.
Isak, meanwhile, has reportedly rejected a lucrative contract offer from Newcastle, fueling speculation about a potential move. Liverpool are reportedly preparing a British record offer to secure the striker, potentially exceeding £150m. The potential transfer fee for Diaz, coupled with other potential sales, suggests Liverpool has the funds to make a strong bid for Isak before the transfer window closes.
