Bayern Munich Made Contacts For Luis Diaz
Four days ago, I gave an update on the possible exit from Liverpool this summer transfer window, and one of the names on the list I mentioned was Luis Diaz. The Colombian winger has been linked to Barcelona at the beginning of the year as a potential signing since the Nico Williams deal collapsed last summer. Barcelona had no intention of going for the Spanish winger this summer. It has been reported several times that Deco(Barcelona sporting director) wanted Luis Diaz as he was at the top of the shortlist for wingers this summer.
Nico Williams came this summer and offered himself back to Barcelona, which changed the whole narrative for Barcelona as they solely withdrew from bidding for Luis Diaz this summer and gave priority to signing Nico, which has caused a little fuss between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao(Nico's club), which is a story for another day. Barcelona are no longer interested in bidding for Luis Diaz this summer, which brings the rumours and possibility of Diaz going to Barcelona to an end, but things have picked up this week from another club in Europe.
Bayern Munich are more likely to bid for Luis Diaz this summer with the recent update from Fabrizio Romano. Bayern Munich are looking to replace Leroy Sane's position as the German winger made a move to Turkish club Galatasaray this summer. It is still unclear why Sane decided to make the decision because Bayern Munich were happy with him and there was a contract renewal proposal on the table for Sane, but the German player decided his time was up with the club. Bayern Munich has not been lucky in their bid for a new winger.
Nico Williams was on the top list for Bayern Leverkusen and contacts with the player camp were made, even a meeting was scheduled several times between Nico Williams agent and Bayern Munich, but the German club was informed that Nico Williams wants to join Barcelona and is only going to give priority to joining Barcelona this summer. Bayern Munich submitted their project and offered a higher salary than what Nico Williams agreed with Barcelona, but it didn't make Nico Williams change his decision.
Bayern Munich has made contact and asked for an update on Luis Diaz's situation as reported by Fabrizio Romano. It's not serious yet, but it could be in the coming weeks if Bayern Munich decides to push to sign the Colombian. Luis Diaz has said he is happy at Liverpool, so now it depends on what the club wants. I think if a proper fee is initiated by Bayern Munich to sign Diaz, then there is a possibility that Liverpool could accept the offer. The Colombian winger has top quality, and if he were not good, then clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich wouldn't be making contact to sign him this summer.
This is another story to keep an eye on in the summer window, and I will be paying close attention to see if anything develops in the coming weeks. So that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
