Bayern Munich send insulting transfer offer to Liverpool for Luis Díaz

In a move that underscores just how out of touch some of Europe’s biggest clubs can be when negotiating with Premier League giants, Bayern Munich have submitted an initial offer of around €52 million for Luis Díaz, per BILD’s Tobias Altschaffl and Romy Srocke.

The bid is not only well below Liverpool’s valuation, it borders on insulting for a player who is, when fit and firing, one of the most dangerous wide forwards in Europe.

Díaz wants Bayern — but Bayern clearly want a bargain

According to Delaney, Díaz’s camp has already informed Liverpool that he wants to move to Munich, which is an important wrinkle in the story. That said, personal terms are the easy part. What remains is the actual transfer fee — and Bayern’s opening gambit looks more like a starting point from a mid-table Serie A side than from the Rekordmeister.

At 28, Díaz is entering his prime. He contributed 13 goals and 5 assists across competitions, many of them crucial in the title-winning campaign.

He is not on the market, and Liverpool do not need to sell. So what exactly is Bayern thinking?

Bayern’s opening bid ignores Premier League market realities

The Bundesliga champions have been spoiled for too long by pillaging within their own league. But Premier League clubs do not sell top attackers for €52 million, especially not to Champions League rivals and certainly not without a bidding war.

We’re talking about a player Liverpool paid €60 million for from FC Porto, and who has developed into one of the few guaranteed starters in their frontline. So for Bayern to come in with a bid lower than Liverpool’s original outlay, and years of Premier League inflation later, is pure fantasy.

Liverpool won’t roll over — especially not for this number

Liverpool may not block Díaz’s exit forever, but they will not be bullied by Bayern, especially not in this new post-Klopp era where the club is focused on holding its ground and rebuilding carefully under Arne Slot.

The club views Díaz as either a key starter or, at the very least, a valuable chess piece in a potential rebuild. His versatility, relentless work rate, and ability to break open matches make him an asset not easily replaced — especially not with the thin winger market this summer.

If Bayern want him, they’ll need to at least start the conversation at €70–75 million and potentially more with add-ons.

The Díaz deal could still happen — but not on Bayern’s terms

Luis Díaz wants to go. That’s a real, legitimate factor in how this story will unfold. Bayern know this and are trying to use it to their advantage. But they’ve seriously misjudged Liverpool’s leverage in this situation.

This isn’t a club scrambling to sell — it’s a club that knows exactly how much its stars are worth. If Bayern want to get serious, they’ll need to come back with a real offer, not a Bundesliga lowball. Otherwise, Liverpool will happily keep Díaz and move on.
