Liverpool won’t let go of their gem

According to The Athletic, Liverpool immediately rejected a €77.8 million offer from Bayern Munich for Luis Díaz. The Reds didn’t even consider negotiating—they view the Colombian as non-transferable and have told the German club he is not for sale.

The 27-year-old winger is a key part of Arne Slot’s system. Despite his contract running until 2027, Liverpool value him at over €115 million, well above what Bayern are currently offering.

Barça are watching… but lack financial power

Barcelona still dream of making Luis Díaz their marquee signing of the summer, but their financial situation makes things complicated. He’s their Plan A, but Liverpool’s price tag makes the deal almost impossible. Still, the Catalan club is counting on one key factor: the player’s personal desire.

Díaz hasn’t renewed his contract and has already expressed internally that he’s looking for a new challenge. After three and a half years at Anfield, he wants a change of scenery—and Barça knows it. If they manage to sell a player or bring in new funds, they could make a move.

A heated triangle with Rodrygo in the mix

There’s a third player in this story: Rodrygo. According to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool are reportedly interested in the Real Madrid forward, but they’d need funds to make the transfer happen. If that deal goes through, the English club could become more open to selling Luis Díaz—but not for less than a nine-figure fee.

For now, Barça are waiting… and Bayern are pushing. But the Colombian’s decision could tilt the balance in what’s shaping up to be a very unpredictable transfer market.
