Luis Díaz wants the move. Bayern Munich believe the deal is within reach. And Liverpool may finally be approaching a decision point.
After rejecting multiple approaches, Liverpool are now weighing a fresh offer from Bayern that could reach €75 million (approximately $81 million), their so-called final push to land the Colombian winger. While that figure still falls short of Liverpool’s initial €100 million (around $108 million) valuation, it includes structured add-ons and a sell-on clause designed to bridge the gap. More importantly, it arrives with the backing of Díaz himself, who has now formally requested to be allowed to leave.
Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra told Win Sports TV, “Luis Díaz wants this move to happen. He has communicated this to Liverpool.”
According to multiple reports in Germany and Colombia, Díaz’s agent has spent several days in Liverpool negotiating terms with both the club and Bayern, and the player sees this as the right moment in his career to move. Despite a Premier League title and strong performances under Arne Slot, the contract renewal he hoped for never materialized. Bayern, meanwhile, are offering a four-year deal, increased wages, and a clear role in Vincent Kompany’s front three.
The transfer math
Bayern’s internal budget had originally been set aside for Florian Wirtz. That move collapsed when the German international joined Liverpool instead. Now, the same funds are being redirected toward Díaz, with Munich unwilling to exceed €80 million (roughly $86 million) in any scenario. Their latest offer, hovering around €75 million including bonuses and clauses, is seen as their ceiling.
Liverpool, for their part, are dealing with their own squad evolution. With Cody Gakpo increasingly preferred on the left and Hugo Ekitiké arriving, there are already shifts in the attacking hierarchy. Letting Díaz go would free up minutes and funds, especially if the club can reinvest in a younger profile like Rodrygo, who remains on their radar.
What happens next will hinge on how much Liverpool value keeping an unsettled player versus maximizing his market worth. With Díaz pushing from the inside, Bayern pushing from the outside, and the window nearing its final month, resolution feels close.
Even if the final offer isn’t quite what Liverpool wanted, the structure and timing may be too pragmatic to ignore. It’s another reminder of how modern transfers rarely hinge on just price. Timing, ambition, and leverage often speak louder.
