Bayern Munich have resumed talks with Liverpool over a deal for forward Luis Diaz.

The Bavarian club are yet to submit a second bid for the Colombian winger but remain keen on a deal, and are now in regular dialogue with Liverpool.

The Athletic reported on July 15 that Liverpool had rejected an offer worth €67.5million (£58.6m; $78.8m) from Bayern for Diaz, who has made it clear that he wants to leave the Anfield club.

Diaz’s Liverpool contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027.

He has trained as usual in Hong Kong this week as Liverpool prepare for Saturday’s friendly against AC Milan, but did not feature in their pre-season games against Preston North End or Stoke City last week.

Bayern have been in the market for a forward this summer but have missed out on several targets.

The Bundesliga champions’ primary target Florian Wirtz chose to move to Liverpool, while Spain international winger Nico Williams opted to renew his contract with Athletic Club. The Athletic reported on July 9 that Bayern had enquired about signing RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.

Bayern admire Diaz’s versatile and regard him as a forward who can play different roles across the front line.

Diaz joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022 for an initial fee of £37.5m, with the deal potentially rising to £50m with add-ons.

He has made 148 appearances for the club, scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists in all competitions.

Diaz played a key role under Arne Slot during Liverpool’s 2024-25 Premier League title-winning campaign, scoring 13 top-flight goals in 36 appearances.
