Liverpool has firmly turned down an inquiry from Bayern Munich regarding the sale of Luis Diaz. Bayer Munich’s sporting director, Max Eberl, has been informed that the 28-year-old forward is not available for transfer, and no further discussions have taken place.
This rejection marks the second instance this summer where Liverpool has dismissed interest in Diaz, having previously sent the same message to Barcelona. Additionally, there has been interest from Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, but Liverpool’s executives regard Diaz as essential for the team’s future.
Luis Diaz played a significant role in Liverpool’s Premier League title victory last season, contributing 13 goals and five assists. Since arriving from Porto in January 2022, in a deal that could reach £49 million, he has made 148 appearances and netted 41 goals across all competitions, helping the club secure the Premier League, FA Cup, and two League Cups.
The Colombian international has expressed contentment with his position at Liverpool, emphasizing that he is happy to fulfill his remaining two years on his contract. During a recent international duty with Colombia, he stated: “I’m very, very happy in Liverpool. From day one, they’ve made me feel really welcome.”
The debate surrounding Diaz’s future has garnered mixed opinions. Football pundit Jamie Carragher acknowledged that while fans see Diaz as a valuable asset, there are contrasting views on whether the club should pursue a new contract for him or consider capitalizing on his market value due to his age and potential.
As Liverpool looks ahead, they recognize Diaz’s importance as they enhance their squad for the upcoming challenges. His commitment to the club signals a hopeful outlook for both his career and Liverpool’s ambitions in the seasons to come.
