Liverpool Rejects Bayern Munich Interest In Luis Diaz Transfer

Liverpool have decisively rebuffed Bayern Munich's recent interest in a transfer for Colombian international Luis Diaz, firmly stating they have no intention of selling the winger this summer. The Premier League champions communicated their unequivocal stance to Bayern's director of sport, Max Eberl, making it clear that the 28-year-old is not for sale at any price. Club sources, speaking anonymously, confirmed that Liverpool will not entertain any approaches for Diaz, whose contract at Anfield runs until 2027, underpinning their strong position. This resolute message echoes the one sent to Barcelona earlier in the transfer window, highlighting a consistent club policy regarding the forward's future.

Diaz remains a vital component of Arne Slot's plans for the coming seasons, a sentiment reinforced by his significant contributions since arriving from Porto in January 2022. The initial £37.5 million fee, potentially rising to £50 million with add-ons, has proven to be a shrewd investment. Since his arrival, Diaz has made 148 appearances across all competitions, scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists, showcasing his consistent impact on the Reds' attacking play. His importance was particularly evident during Liverpool's triumphant 2024-25 Premier League title-winning campaign, where he played a crucial role, contributing 13 league goals in 36 appearances.

The player himself has also expressed a strong desire to remain at Anfield long-term. In a May interview, Diaz indicated his wish to stay "as long as possible," adding, "It also depends on the club, it all depends on the details. But I am very calm, very happy and I am enjoying the Premier League." This personal commitment further strengthens Liverpool's resolve to retain him. Bayern Munich's pursuit of Diaz comes as they actively seek to bolster their wide attacking options following Leroy Sane's departure to Galatasaray on a free transfer. However, their search will need to look beyond Merseyside, as Liverpool stands firm on keeping their key attacking asset.
