Overview

• Liverpool will enter formal discussions on a fixed €80 million sale price this week.
• Bayern has set a maximum valuation of €75 million, proposing a €70 million base fee plus up to €5 million in bonuses.
• Clubs view the €5 million difference as a surmountable hurdle likely to be resolved through performance-related payments.
• Díaz’s absence from Liverpool’s recent friendly squad underlines the club’s intent to leverage his transfer availability.
• Díaz, who scored 13 Premier League goals last season, has agreed personal terms on a four-year deal with Bayern and would plug the void left by Musiala’s injury and Sané’s exit.
