Bayern Munich are intensifying their pursuit of Liverpool winger Luis Diaz, who was notably absent from the Reds’ recent friendly against AC Milan. This omission, confirmed by manager Arne Slot as due to transfer speculation, fuels rumors of an imminent move to the Bundesliga giants.
While Liverpool’s initial asking price was a hefty £70 million, reports suggest Bayern Munich are confident of securing Diaz for around €75 million (£63.5 million). French journalist Santi Aouna, reporting on X, indicated that negotiations are progressing well.
Diaz’s potential departure is further fueled by Liverpool’s recent signings of Hugo Ekitike and their pursuit of Alexander Isak. The club’s reported interest in other wingers, including Lyon’s Malick Fofana, Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli, and PSG’s Bradley Barcola, adds to the speculation surrounding Diaz’s future.
Meanwhile, the situation surrounding Darwin Nunez, another Liverpool player left out of the Milan friendly, remains uncertain. While initially linked with Napoli, Saudi clubs are reportedly interested, but Nunez’s options appear limited, potentially impacting his future at Anfield. The overall financial implications of these potential transfers will undoubtedly influence Liverpool’s transfer strategy this summer.
The situation is fluid, but if Diaz’s move to Bayern materializes, it could trigger a domino effect within Liverpool’s squad, impacting both incoming and outgoing transfers.
