Liverpool has firmly rejected a £58.6 million bid from Bayern Munich for Colombian forward Luis Diaz, making it clear that the 28-year-old star is not for sale. The approach, made earlier this month, was swiftly rebuffed, and the Reds reaffirmed their position on Tuesday, underscoring Diaz’s untouchable status in Arne Slot’s plans.
Diaz, whose contract at Anfield runs until the summer of 2027, is reportedly valued by Liverpool at more than £87 million. The club sees him as an indispensable figure in their attack, following a season in which he netted 22 goals across all competitions, 13 of those in the Premier League, playing a pivotal role in Liverpool’s dominant title-winning campaign.
The Colombian international’s blistering form has made him one of the most sought-after talents in Europe. While Bayern Munich is the latest club to test Liverpool’s resolve, Manchester City had previously expressed interest in Diaz, and clubs in Saudi Arabia are also keeping tabs on his availability. However, Liverpool remains adamant that Diaz is not on the market.

With the summer transfer window heating up, Liverpool is actively seeking to bolster their front line. The Premier League champions are now in advanced talks with Newcastle United over Swedish striker Alexander Isak. Sources close to the deal suggest that Liverpool has made significant strides in recent days, as they aim to add firepower to an already formidable squad. The club is also monitoring other potential centre-forward targets as part of a broader strategy to maintain their dominance heading into the new season.
As the Reds shut the door on any move for Diaz, their aggressive pursuit of top-tier talent signals clear intent: Liverpool isn’t just defending their crown, they’re building to stay on top.
