Liverpool stands firm and turns down Bayern Munich's bid for Luis Díaz

In July 2025, Liverpool Football Club, based in England, firmly rejected an approach from Bayern Munich for their Colombian winger, Luis Díaz. Despite the interest from the German club, Liverpool management expressed their intention not to sell the 28-year-old player, who is viewed as a crucial part of the team’s plans for the upcoming season. Díaz, who has two years remaining on his contract at Anfield, is expected to play an important starting role alongside other key players like Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo. This decision comes in the wake of Bayern Munich looking for a replacement for Leroy Sané, who recently joined Galatasaray after his contract with Bayern expired. The situation highlights Liverpool’s commitment to maintaining their core squad as they aim to defend their Premier League title. In addition to Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona has also shown interest in Díaz, along with other clubs in the Saudi Pro League. However, the player himself has publicly stated his happiness at Liverpool, indicating that he is content to either extend his current contract or fulfill the remaining two years. Last season, Díaz had an impressive performance, scoring 17 goals, including a notable Champions League hat trick against Bayer Leverkusen. His versatility on the field, having been utilized as both a striker and a winger, underscores his importance to manager Arne Slot as Liverpool prepares for the next competitive season.
