Liverpool Reject £58m Bayern Munich Offer for Luis Diaz: What’s Next?

Liverpool have said no to a £58.6 million (€67.5m) offer from Bayern Munich for their star player, Luis Diaz. The Premier League champions made it clear that the 28-year-old Colombian is not for sale. Big clubs like Bayern Munich and Barcelona are showing interest in him, so many people are talking about his future. This article explains why Liverpool turned down the offer, how important Diaz is to the team, and what could happen next.

Why Liverpool Rejected Bayern’s Offer

Liverpool quickly said no to Bayern Munich’s £58.6 million offer for Luis Diaz. They believe he is worth much more — over £86 million (€100 million). The club sees Diaz as an important player for their new manager, Arne Slot, especially after a great 2025-26 season. Diaz scored 13 goals and gave 7 assists in 36 Premier League matches, helping Liverpool win the league by 10 points. He can play both on the wing and in the center, which is why Slot wants to keep him.

Bayern Munich made the offer as they need more attacking players due to injuries to Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala. But Liverpool made it clear: Diaz is not for sale this summer. They also turned down an earlier offer from Barcelona, showing they are serious about keeping the Colombian star.

Luis Diaz’s Importance to Liverpool

Luis Diaz joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022 for £37.5 million, which could go up to £50 million. Since then, he has become very popular with fans. He has played 148 games, scored 41 goals, and made 23 assists in all competitions. His speed, skill, and hard work match Liverpool’s fast playing style. Last season, he scored 17 goals, which was his best season so far.

Diaz’s contract ends in 2027, so Liverpool doesn’t need to sell him soon. The club sees him as an important player for the future. Liverpool is also looking to sign a new striker, like Alexander Isak from Newcastle, so losing Diaz would make their transfer plans more difficult.

Diaz’s Desire to Leave: Fact or Rumor?

Reports say that Diaz has told Liverpool he wants to leave, and Bayern Munich thinks he wants to join them. Posts on social media and news from places like The Athletic say the winger is open to moving, especially since his contract talks haven’t gone anywhere. But earlier this summer, Diaz said he was happy at Liverpool and added, “I’m very happy at Liverpool – I’ve always said so.” This change has led to more talk about his future.

Even with these reports, Liverpool still has a strong position. They don’t think Diaz wanting to leave changes their plans. If another club wants to sign him, they would have to offer a lot more money—around £80 million or more—just to begin talks.

What’s Next for Liverpool and Diaz?

Liverpool wants to make their team stronger, not weaker. They have already spent a lot of money this summer, signing players like Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong. They are also trying to get Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace and Alexander Isak from Newcastle. Selling Luis Diaz might help pay for these players, but only if a very good offer comes in.

For Diaz, the situation is not easy. Some reports say he might be open to leaving, but earlier this summer, he said he is happy at Liverpool. He still has two years left on his contract, so he might ask for a better deal with more money or think about joining big clubs like Bayern Munich or Barcelona.
