Liverpool winger Luis Díaz was left out of the squad that faced AC Milan in Hong Kong, fueling strong speculation that a summer move to Bayern Munich is edging closer.
Manager Arne Slot confirmed the decision was not injury-related but due to “ongoing discussions,” indicating that transfer talks are active and advanced.
“Luis is training well. But given everything that is going on, we felt it was best not to involve him in this game,” said Slot following Liverpool’s 4–2 loss to Milan.
Bayern Munich have already seen two bids rejected, with the latest offer believed to be in the £70–75 million range. The German club remains determined to land the Colombian international before the new season kicks off. Reports suggest Díaz has welcomed the move, despite previously expressing openness to a contract extension at Anfield.
While Díaz had earlier signaled a desire to stay at Liverpool, insiders report growing frustration over the club’s reluctance to open contract renewal talks. That tension may have shifted his stance, with sources close to the player claiming he has now assured Bayern of his interest in a switch. If the Reds receive an offer that matches their valuation, Díaz could become the latest big-name exit of the summer.
Díaz’s absence against Milan, combined with Darwin Núñez’s ongoing injury concerns, leaves questions over Liverpool’s attacking depth. Should Díaz depart, the club may need to look for a direct replacement or reshuffle their current forward options.
With the Premier League season fast approaching, a decision on Díaz’s future is expected within days. If Bayern raise their offer to meet Liverpool’s expectations, fans may soon be saying goodbye to one of the club’s most dynamic attackers.
