Liverpool have made their stance clear by rejecting Bayern Munich's initial £58.5m bid for star winger Luis Diaz. The German giants are reportedly keen on securing the Colombian international, but Liverpool have no intention of parting ways with their key player.
According to **Sky Sports News**, Bayern Munich were informed earlier this month that Diaz is not available for transfer. The Reds value the 28-year-old at over £86m and have not set a price tag, as they consider him integral to their future plans. Despite Bayern's belief that Diaz is open to joining them, Liverpool's position remains unwavering.
Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing a second offer, but Liverpool have made it clear they will not entertain further bids. Diaz, who has two years remaining on his contract, has been a consistent performer for the Reds, scoring 13 goals in 36 Premier League appearances last season as Liverpool clinched the title.
The Colombian has also attracted interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Barcelona, but Liverpool have reiterated their desire to retain him. Bayern are said to be ready to offer Diaz a four-year deal, but the Anfield club's valuation and commitment to keeping him suggest any potential move is unlikely.
Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher has weighed in on the situation, acknowledging Diaz's importance to the team. "Luis Diaz has been one of the best left wingers in the Premier League this season," Carragher said. "While he may not be Sadio Mane, he remains a crucial part of Liverpool's attack."
As the transfer window progresses, Liverpool's focus remains on retaining their key players, with Diaz firmly in their plans for the upcoming season. Bayern Munich, however, are expected to continue their pursuit, setting the stage for a potential standoff between the two European giants.
