Liverpool may soon be forced into a decision over one of our most valuable assets after Bayern Munich stepped up their efforts once again.
Ben Jacobs, writing on X, reports that the German giants are preparing an improved bid for Luis Diaz, with their final offer expected to come in around €75m, and not exceed €80m.
The Bundesliga outfit have already seen an earlier €67.5m offer rejected, but appear determined to test what Jacobs describes as Liverpool’s “not for sale” stance.
Liverpool may be convinced to sell Luis Diaz
While the Colombian played a key role under Arne Slot last season – contributing 17 goals and 8 assists across all competitions – this summer’s rebuild may force difficult decisions.
The club have already added Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a £69m deal, with some of that sum reportedly structured through instalments.
If another elite forward is targeted – such as Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, long admired on Merseyside – then funds and space will be needed.
Selling Diaz could finance a move for Alexander Isak
With Cody Gakpo often preferred on the left wing last season and Ekitike likely to demand central minutes, the 28-year-old Diaz may be viewed as the one to sacrifice – especially given the potential size of the incoming fee.
If a record-breaking deal for Isak is being plotted then selling assets like Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott, could be needed to improve the squad as a whole.
The Colombian has attracted previous interest from Barcelona and Saudi Arabia too, and while Liverpool fans may be angered by the idea of selling a player still in his prime, it could be for the greater good.
As always, Liverpool will act from a position of strength – but Bayern’s next move may prove too good to turn down.

He is not content at LFC and states this fact often so it is a good idea to let him leave and put his cost into the pool for The Man from Newcastle.
Harvey Elliott’s position is also concerning him as it is realistic he wants to move. He should be allowed to do so and his sale adds to Isak’s purchase.
The one I really would like to see stay, Chiesa, seems to be high on Slot’s list to sell so as slot won’t play him (idiot!) he should return to Italia to continue his career. Konate also appears unsettled so into the sell pot he goes.
LFC should sell Diaz, Nunez Chiesa and Elliot in the immediate term. Others will follow like Doak, Morton etc, some with buy back clauses. If Konate extends his stay at LFC, then all’s well. But still bring in Guehi or Konsa, AND Hato!! I’d hate to see Hato end up at Chelsea. Isak must come to LFC to win major trophies, he needs to understand that. LFC should look at Fofana more than Rodrygo….if we can get both, then fine.
For LFC to be good,plz can anyone tell Slot not to sell Chiesa plz…he needs to be given gametime to showcase his talent…we have seen few flashes from the little time he has been given…so let him be the best backup since he can play in multiple positions upfront…we got him as a bargain same as Endo…let them be the backups,and won’t give much if they are to be sold…better sell or loan the young ones to fund the incomings
