Liverpool are expected to receive a €70 million plus €10million in add-ons bid from Bayern Munich for winger Luis Díaz in the coming hours, according to transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri.
Talks are currently underway between the two clubs.
The Reds are not looking to block the Colombian’s desire to move, with Diaz open to joining the Bundesliga giants.
While Liverpool would prefer to keep the 28-year-old, they are prepared to consider a sale at the right price.
Liverpool would recoup the £50million they paid to Porto in 2022, with additional funds helping to boost the club’s finances and meet the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).
That said, Liverpool will need to weigh the financial benefits against the potential loss of a key attacking player.
Diaz featured in 50 games last season, starting 38 times, logging the seventh-highest minutes in the squad, and contributing 17 goals and five assists.
With Diogo Jota’s passing and the likely departures of Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa, letting go of their primary No. 9 from last season could be a risky gamble for Arne Slot’s side.
Bayern missed out on signing Florian Wirtz earlier this summer, and with Jamal Musiala expected to be sidelined for several months due to a broken leg and dislocated ankle, the club urgently need a left-sided attacker.
The Saudi Pro League remains another realistic option for Diaz, but he is reportedly holding out for a move to Bayern, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.
“Luis Diaz has not only informed Liverpool of his desire to leave, but has now also made it clear to LFC that he would like to join FC Bayern if possible,” Plettenberg posted on X.
