Bayern Munich have made an official offer for Liverpool star Luis Diaz, who wants to leave the club this summer. However, the Reds are sticking with a significantly higher valuation and have rejected the offer, with their official stance unchanged.

The Kop Times recently covered that Liverpool rejected an approach from both Bayern and Barcelona for the Colombian this summer. However, a lot will depend on Diaz’s stance going forward, which has drastically changed since the start of this summer.

The 28-year-old’s behaviour has received social media criticism in light of the recent tragedy involving our beloved striker Diogo Jota. Diaz untimely attended an influencer’s party and revealed that he is negotiating for an exit from the club this summer.

The Colombian international played a pivotal role during Liverpool’s Premier League title victory last season under head coach Arne Slot. However, Slot used Cody Gakpo often in the left-wing position that Luis Diaz prefers the most, shifting the 25-year-old centrally.

According to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein, Liverpool have rejected an official Bayern bid worth £58.6m (€67.5m) for Diaz. The Reds have set Luis Díaz’s valuation at over £86.65 million (€100 million) and intend to keep the Colombian international this window.

However, Diaz’s position on the matter complicates things for them, as the Reds will not keep him against his wishes. So far, Diaz has maintained a more diplomatic stance on the matter, maintaining that he is happy at the club.

The recent behaviour of one of their favourite stars has divided the Liverpool fanbase on the matter. Nevertheless, a huge offer could push the club towards a sale, as there is time to find a worthy successor.

Barcelona’s position on the situation remains unknown, despite being the first club to approach the Reds for Diaz this summer. Rest assured, if Diaz decides that leaving is the best option, Liverpool will not stand in his way, but Bayern have to meet their uncompromising demands.
