Liverpool ‘agree’ Luis Diaz transfer with Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Liverpool have reportedly agreed a deal to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.

The left winger has been eager to secure an exit out of Anfield ahead of next season, with the Bundesliga champions chasing his signature in recent weeks.

Bayern had their opening offer in the region of £58.5m (€67m) turned down by the Reds, but returned with a second bid, said to be worth around £69m (€80m).

Their persistence has seemingly paid off, with multiple reports claiming Liverpool have accepted the Bavarian outfit’s latest approach.

The Athletic and Sky Sports News both report that the total fee comes to £65.5m (€75m). Diaz has been given permission to leave Liverpool’s pre-season training camp in Tokyo to complete the move and sign a four-year contract, with the option for a further year.

Liverpool were unwilling to sell one of their key players, but the Colombia international forced their hand by insisting on a move away. He had two years left to run on his contract.

Arne Slot confirmed that Diaz was left out of Saturday’s pre-season friendly defeat to AC Milan due to the speculation surrounding his future.

“There’s a lot of rumours around him lately and I cannot go into that,” the head coach told LFC TV. “He’s training well with us but we have decided, for now, not to play him yet.

“I’m used to talking to most of my players on a regular basis. Like I said, Lucho is training really well and we’ve decided that he’s not playing at the moment in the games. I cannot comment much more about that.”

Barcelona also made an approach for Diaz in June, but Liverpool turned them down. They instead signed Marcus Rashford on loan with an obligation to buy from Manchester United.
