Liverpool Dismiss Bayern’s £58.6m Bid for Luis Diaz, Hold Firm on £87m Valuation

Liverpool have firmly rejected Bayern Munich’s initial £58.6 million bid for Colombian forward Luis Diaz, reaffirming their stance that the player is not available for transfer. Despite the German club’s approach earlier this month and continued interest from European giants, Liverpool maintain that Diaz is a central figure in Arne Slot’s plans for the upcoming season.

Diaz, 28, remains under contract at Anfield until 2027 and is seen as a key component of the team’s attacking core. His influence last season was undeniable — netting 22 goals across all competitions, including 13 in the Premier League, as Liverpool secured the title with a commanding 10-point margin.

The Colombian winger has previously drawn interest from Manchester City and continues to attract attention from Saudi clubs. However, Liverpool’s valuation of over £87 million reflects both his current form and his strategic importance to the squad.

As part of their ongoing squad strengthening efforts, Liverpool are actively searching for a centre-forward. High on their wishlist is Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak. Sources close to the negotiations indicate the Reds have made concrete advances in their pursuit of the Swedish striker and are concurrently assessing other potential options for the No.9 role.

With the transfer window heating up, Liverpool appear determined to retain their top talents while making decisive moves in the market to reinforce their title-winning squad.
