According to Bild, Bayern Munich are preparing a new proposal to test Liverpool’s stance after their opening bid was swiftly rejected earlier this week. The German champions see Díaz as the ideal wide player to complement Harry Kane and are eager to wrap up the deal before the Bundesliga season kicks off.
Diaz, 28, has told Liverpool he’s open to the move, and while he remains under contract, Bayern’s growing urgency could force the Reds into further negotiations.
Why Bayern Are All-In on Luis Díaz
Bayern have now shifted full focus to Díaz after stepping away from a £55m pursuit of Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade, who impressed at the U21 Euros. With Leroy Sané off to Galatasaray and Jamal Musiala sidelined with a serious leg injury, reinforcements on the wing are a top priority for new manager Vincent Kompany.
“Diaz gives Bayern proven final-third quality and direct threat — they need that now more than ever,” said a Bundesliga analyst. — BILD
Diaz’s Situation at Liverpool
Luis Díaz has enjoyed periods of strong form under Jürgen Klopp and now Arne Slot, but he has yet to find consistent end-product at Liverpool. With Barcelona no longer in the race — shifting focus to Marcus Rashford — Bayern have a clear run if they can match Liverpool’s valuation.

Analyst Verdict
From a tactical perspective, Díaz suits Kompany’s 4-2-3-1 setup. He thrives in space, presses relentlessly, and delivers accurate balls into the box — exactly what Bayern need after losing width and creativity due to injuries and exits.
The sticking point will be the fee. Liverpool want closer to £70 million, and unless Bayern increase their offer significantly, this saga could drag on.
Key Takeaways
- Liverpool rejected Bayern’s £58.5m opening bid for Luis Díaz
- Díaz is keen on the move, with Barcelona now out of the race
- Bayern have paused other talks to focus on sealing the deal
- Kompany sees Díaz as perfect support for Harry Kane
- A second bid is expected in the coming days
What’s Next for Diaz and Bayern?
Bayern are now expected to return with a second offer — potentially closer to Liverpool’s £70m valuation. Talks between both clubs are ongoing, with Diaz pushing for the move and Liverpool weighing up their options. If a deal is to happen, it’s likely to accelerate before the Premier League and Bundesliga seasons kick off in August.
Should Liverpool accept the next Bayern offer for Díaz — or hold out for more?
