BREAKING: Liverpool reject £58m Luis Diaz transfer offer but star wants to leave Anfield

Liverpool have rejected a £58million bid from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz - but the Colombian international wants to leave Anfield.

Diaz has two years left on his contract at the club and the Reds are not interested in selling him this summer. They have been assertive that they won't be selling unless it's money they simply cannot turn down - potentially to the tune of £100m.

However Diaz, 28, has grown frustrated by the club's stance on his contract. He remains on the same deal that he signed when arriving from Porto in January 2022 for an initial £37.5m and is paid far less than a number of the club's top stars, not to mention Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who agreed extensions earlier this year.

Diaz has made 148 appearances for the club, scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists in all competitions and scored 13 goals in 36 games for Arne Slot's men as they won the Premier League title last term.

But with no sign of an improved deal forthcoming from the club's hierarchy, he has made clear his desire to move elsewhere.

Barcelona have been very keen to sign him and take him to Catalunya, but their financial troubles see the Spanish champions looking at alternatives. And that has left Bayern as the club most likely, with boss Vincent Kompany desperate to add more attacking firepower.

Kompany has seen Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane both depart this summer, while Jamal Musiala suffered a serious injury during the FIFA Club World Cup to increase his need to add to his attack.
