Luis Diaz unhappy about Liverpool’s unwillingness to sell him as Bayern Munich fail with bid
Liverpool attacker Luis Diaz has been linked with a move away from the club, and Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich want to sign him.
Bayern Munich have had an offer of around £58.5 million rejected for Luis Diaz. According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, the Colombian international is unhappy that Liverpool are not willing to let him leave this summer.
The 28-year-old wants to take on a new challenge, and moving to Germany is an appealing option for him. The former FC Porto winger has been linked with Barcelona recently as well. However, the Catalan outfit are going through financial difficulties, and they might not be able to afford him.
Meanwhile, the Bavarian giants need to bring in a quality wide player. Bayern Munich have lost Leroy Sane during the summer transfer window, and they need to replace him.
Diaz has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League over the years, and he scored 17 goals for Liverpool last season. The 28-year-old helped him win the league title, and he has the quality to do well in the Bundesliga as well. He could be a key player for Bayern Munich if he manages to join the club.
Can Bayern Munich get the deal done?
It will be interesting to see if the Bundesliga champions decide to come forward with an improved offer to the player. There is no doubt that they have the finances to get the deal across the line. With the Colombian international keen on joining them, they will certainly be confident of getting the deal done.
It is fair to assume that Liverpool will eventually sanction his departure if the right offer is presented. The Premier League champions will not want to hold onto a player who does not wish to be at the club. Liverpool have already brought in Florian Wirtz, who likes to operate as a left-sided attacker.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can get rid of the South American and his £60,000-a-week wages and bring a quality alternative. The Merseyside outfit should look to invest in a dynamic attacker who will be able to slot in as the centre forward as well as a wide player.
