Bayern Munich have reportedly made contact with Liverpool striker Luis Díaz regarding a potential summer transfer.
The Colombian international still has two years left on his contract at Anfield, but it is uncertain whether he will stay at the club until the 2025/26 season. Díaz has previously been linked to:
- A transfer to Saudi Arabian Al-Nassr
- FC Barcelona, who now focus on Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams
According to recent reports, Bayern Munich has now emerged as a new, serious stakeholder.

Bayern takes concrete steps
According to Bild, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl has made direct contact with Díaz’s representatives to discuss a move to the Allianz Arena this summer.
In the conversation, it was also discussed:
- Salary and personal terms
- The club’s plans for the player
Bayern’s interest has increased after losing other goalkeepers:
- Nico Williams looks set to stay in Spain with Barcelona
- Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (Dortmund) is close to a move to Chelsea
Rashford also on Bayern’s radar
In addition to Díaz, Bayern are also considering Marcus Rashford as a possible solution on the left wing.
Rashford recently returned to Manchester United after a loan spell at Aston Villa, who did not take advantage of the £40 million purchase clause.
The 27-year-old is not part of United manager Ruben Amorim’s plans, but Bayern appear to have him on a “long-term list” rather than as a number one priority.
Now what for Díaz?
With Bayern Munich being a serious buyer, the transfer speculation could now accelerate. Liverpool will have to decide whether to keep him or go for a big transfer fee.
Díaz, who has been a key player for Liverpool since his arrival in 2022, thus faces an important decision about his future career.
