Liverpool Stand Firm as Bayern Munich’s €67.5m Bid for Luis Diaz Gets Instant Rejection

*Reds Value Colombian Star at €100m+ as Winger Pushes for Summer Exit*

Liverpool have sent a clear message to Bayern Munich by immediately rejecting a €67.5 million opening bid for Luis Diaz, with the Anfield hierarchy valuing their star winger at well over €100 million. The 28-year-old Colombian international has reportedly expressed his desire to leave Merseyside this summer, but the newly-crowned Premier League champions appear unwilling to entertain offers below their sky-high valuation.

Bayern’s Pursuit Meets Liverpool’s Resistance

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Vincent Kompany’s Bayern made their first formal approach on Tuesday after missing out on primary targets Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams. However, new Liverpool manager Arne Slot considers Diaz integral to his plans, despite the player’s reluctance to extend his current contract which runs until 2026.

The Colombian flyer enjoyed a stellar 2024/25 campaign, contributing 17 goals and 8 assists across all competitions while playing a crucial role in Liverpool’s dramatic Premier League title triumph. His electrifying performances have also attracted serious interest from Barcelona, though the Catalan giants’ financial limitations make Bayern the more realistic suitor.

Summer of Change at Anfield

Liverpool’s transfer activity has already been bustling, with five new arrivals including Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. The potential departure of Diaz could force the Reds back into the market, with manager Slot potentially needing to replace both a winger and a striker – the latter position becoming urgent as Darwin Núñez’s exit looms.

Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and PSG’s Hugo Ekitike are understood to be top attacking targets, though the Magpies are fighting to keep their Swedish talisman. As for Diaz’s potential replacement, Liverpool may need to act fast with pre-season preparations underway.

For now, the message from Anfield is clear: Bayern Munich – or any other interested club – will need to significantly up their offer if they want to prize away one of Liverpool’s most dangerous attacking weapons. With the player wanting out but the club holding all the cards, this transfer saga could run deep into the summer window.
