Liverpool have rejected an approach from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz, issuing a firm hands-off warning to any club circling the Colombian winger — just days after turning down Barcelona.
Diaz is not for sale. That’s the clear stance from Anfield, where Liverpool are intent on keeping the 28-year-old despite interest from across Europe and Saudi Arabia.
Diaz Transfer Saga: Bayern Join the Queue
According to reports in Germany and England, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl made contact with Liverpool regarding Diaz — only to be met with a flat refusal.
Barcelona had also made an enquiry earlier this week but were swiftly shut down, while Al Nassr have been exploring a move for several months.
“I’m Very, Very Happy at Liverpool” – Diaz Speaks Out
Diaz is currently on international duty and addressed the transfer speculation himself, telling Colombian media:
“I’m very, very happy at Liverpool. From day one, they’ve made me feel really welcome. I still have two years left — and I’d be happy to stay. Everything depends on them.” — Luis Diaz
Despite not receiving a formal extension offer yet, Diaz made it clear he won’t force a move, stating his future is “up to the club.”
By the Numbers: Diaz’s Impact in 2024/25
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Appearances (All Competitions) | 50 |
| Goals | 17 |
| Assists | 8 |
| Goal Contributions per 90 | 0.50 |
| Contract Expiry | June 2027 |
The Colombian has proved indispensable in big games, offering versatility across the front line, and consistently ranking among Liverpool’s top pressers and ball-carriers.
Analyst Verdict
Liverpool’s stance is bold — and smart. Diaz still has two years left, and under new management, he’s expected to remain a key figure unless a major shift happens.
Unless Barcelona find £51m, or Bayern sell another star to fund a second offer, Diaz is staying at Anfield. For now, Liverpool win the power play.
Key Insights
- Liverpool reject Bayern Munich’s approach for Diaz
- Barcelona and Al Nassr also turned away
- Diaz scored 17 and assisted 8 in 2024/25
- Club has no intention to sell, despite no extension yet
- Wirtz arrival could affect his role — but for now, he's key
What’s Next?
Liverpool must now decide whether to offer Diaz a new contract. He is tied to the club until 2027, but there are no talks yet. A fresh deal could send a strong message and end transfer speculation.
Barcelona will likely move on to other targets. Nico Williams and Luis Guilherme are two names under consideration. Both players are younger and may cost less than Diaz.
Bayern Munich will also explore other options. They still need a winger after Leroy Sané’s exit. Bradley Barcola could become their new focus in the coming weeks.
Saudi clubs may return with offers. Al Nassr have shown interest before. But Diaz has made it clear — he wants to stay in Europe for now.
Should Liverpool extend Diaz’s contract — or cash in next summer?
