Overview

• Liverpool have flatly turned down offers of around £58.5 million for Diaz, who has two years remaining on his contract.
• Bayern have paused negotiations for Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade to focus entirely on securing a left winger.
• Diaz has informed Liverpool of his desire to leave, having grown unhappy with his current terms and stalled contract talks.
• As a contingency, Bayern have contacted Lyon to explore the terms for signing 20-year-old winger Malick Fofana.
• The need to replace outgoing wide players and cover Jamal Musiala’s season-ending injury has elevated Diaz to Bayern’s top transfer priority.
