It looks like things might be shifting at Liverpool, and one of their biggest stars could be at the center of it.

Reports say Colombian winger Luis Díaz has told the club he’s ready for a change — and he’s not short on big-name suitors.

Bayern Munich Make Their Move

According to The Athletic, Bayern Munich are very serious about bringing Díaz to Germany.

The Bundesliga giants have reportedly made a £58.6 million bid to sign him, but Liverpool weren’t having it.

They shut down the offer almost immediately.

The Reds have put a much steeper price tag on Díaz — £86 million to be exact — though some insiders suggest this figure might be more about internal accounting than an actual asking price.

Regardless, they’ve made it clear they’re not looking to sell the 28-year-old this summer.

Díaz Drawing Attention Across Europe

Díaz is clearly in high demand. It’s not just Bayern knocking — Barcelona are also known to be interested.

With a contract that runs until 2027, Liverpool technically hold the cards, but interest from top European clubs always has a way of stirring the pot.

He first joined the Reds from Porto in January 2022 for an initial £37.5 million, and he’s certainly proven his worth since then.

A Solid Season Under Arne Slot

Last season, Díaz was a big part of Liverpool’s success.

Under Arne Slot, he made 50 appearances, scored 13 goals, and delivered 7 assists in the Premier League alone.

He started 28 league matches and played a key role as the club went on to clinch the Premier League title.

That level of consistency — combined with his creativity and flair — explains why clubs like Bayern and Barca are so eager to land him.

Bayern’s Summer Struggles Continue

For Bayern, the chase for Díaz comes after a couple of frustrating setbacks.

They’ve already lost out on Florian Wirtz, who chose to join Liverpool instead in a deal potentially worth £116 million.

And it doesn’t stop there — Nico Williams, another top target, decided to stay loyal to Athletic Club, signing a new contract despite interest from Bayern and Barcelona.

What Happens Next?

As of now, Díaz remains a Liverpool player, and the club say they don’t intend to sell.

But with big money on the table and interest mounting, the transfer saga might be far from over.

Will Bayern come back with a bigger offer? Or will Díaz stay put and help Liverpool defend their title? Either way, this one is worth keeping an eye on.
