Luis Díaz Set for Bundesliga Switch as Bayern Near €75m Agreement
Liverpool seems to be on the verge of finalizing a major transfer agreement with Bayern Munich for forward Luis Diaz, with reports indicating a fee of around 75 million euros. This development follows Bayern’s initial bid of €67.5 million, which was turned down last week.
It seems that the German club is back at the negotiating table, and there’s a growing sense that both sides are nearing a deal. If everything goes through, this move could be a game-changer for Diaz and would enhance Bayern’s attacking strength.
The Reds are currently in the midst of their pre-season tour in Asia, and Diaz was part of the squad that touched down in Tokyo on Sunday. However, he didn’t feature in Liverpool’s recent 4-2 friendly loss to AC Milan in Hong Kong, which has only intensified the speculation surrounding his future.
After the match, head coach Arne Slot addressed the situation, acknowledging the swirl of rumors around Diaz. He stated, “In Lucho’s (Diaz’s) situation, there’s a lot of rumours around him lately, and I cannot go into that. He’s training well with us, but we have decided, for now, not to play him yet. I’m used to talking to most of my players regularly. I cannot comment much more about that.”
Liverpool has been proactive in the transfer window, adding to their attacking lineup with the signings of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. Wirtz even made his first start as a false nine in the game against AC Milan. Additionally, the club has secured the services of Jeremie Frimpong, left-back Milos Kerkez, and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, all of whom contributed in the second half of the recent friendly match.
As the transfer window continues, Liverpool fans are eagerly awaiting developments regarding Diaz and how these new signings will integrate into the team’s strategy moving forward.
