Liverpool Star ‘Determined' to Force £60m Summer Exit
Luis Díaz Determined to Join Bayern: What It Means for Liverpool Liverpool's summer transfer window has taken another twist, as reported by ESPN, with Luis Díaz pushing for a move to Bayern Munich. Despite having two years left on his contract and coming off his most prolific season at Anfield, scoring 17 goals and helping the club win the Premier League title, the Colombian winger has made it clear to Liverpool officials that he wants a new challenge. Bayern Raise the Stakes According to ESPN, Bayern Munich had an initial €67.5 million (£57m) bid rejected last week. However, the Bundesliga giants are preparing a new offer of around €70 million plus add-ons, underlining how determined they are to land Díaz. A source told ESPN, 'Díaz remains determined to leave Liverpool during the summer transfer window and is hoping that Bayern Munich will make a new offer in the coming days to try to convince the English club.' Photo: IMAGO Bayern view Díaz as a priority signing, especially after Barcelona's interest cooled. Barça had offered around £65 million but after Liverpool turned it down, they moved on to other targets, including a loan move for Marcus Rashford. Liverpool's Stubborn Stance Liverpool, understandably, have been reluctant to let go of one of their key players. With Arne Slot preparing for his second season after a title-winning debut campaign, Díaz's goals and dynamism down the flank are vital. ESPN's source noted, 'Liverpool have been inflexible so far, but with more than a month to go before the transfer window closes, the source expects the English club to lower their stance at some point.' It is worth noting that Liverpool have already tried to extend Díaz's contract, but those efforts have been unsuccessful. Knock-on Effects for Liverpool's Transfer Plans The situation raises further questions about Liverpool's summer business. ESPN reports that Liverpool have agreed a £79 million deal for Hugo Ekitike, while links with Alexander Isak persist, though Gab Marcotti cautioned, 'I don't believe Liverpool have the spending power to bring in Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.' Photo: IMAGO If Díaz departs, Liverpool will not only lose a prolific scorer but will need to carefully reinvest to maintain the momentum from last season. Slot will need replacements who can immediately slot into his high-intensity system. Barcelona's Miss and Bayern's Gain? Barcelona's failure to land Díaz highlights the tough market conditions. Despite seeing him as the ideal complement to Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, they could not match Liverpool's valuation. Now Bayern stand alone as the most serious bidders. If Liverpool do eventually soften their position, Díaz could soon be lighting up the Bundesliga. But until then, this transfer saga remains one of the most intriguing of the summer window. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis As Liverpool supporters, it is hard not to feel deeply disappointed reading this report. Luis Díaz was one of the standout performers last season, a player who brought energy, flair and crucial goals when it mattered most. To hear that he is determined to leave, despite the club's efforts to extend his contract, feels like a punch to the gut. Yes, every player has their ambitions, but after a title-winning season under Arne Slot, many of us expected Díaz to be part of building a dynasty, not walking away just as things were getting exciting. There is also the frustration of watching the club navigate a tricky transfer market. While Hugo Ekitike is an exciting young talent, losing Díaz's proven quality and experience will leave a void. Fans are right to question whether the club will truly reinvest the incoming funds wisely or if this becomes another window where we strengthen one area only to weaken another. Moreover, there is a creeping worry that Liverpool are becoming too rigid in their negotiations, potentially dragging sagas out and missing chances to prepare adequately for the new season. We trust Slot, given what he has achieved already, but as fans we want clarity, ambition and decisiveness. Díaz's likely departure leaves many of us concerned that Liverpool may take one step forward and two steps back this summer.

Artwork created by Sacramento-area artist used to promote FIFA World Cup matches in Bay Area
World Cup soccer is just 11 months away from coming to the San Francisco Bay Area and a Sacramento County man's artwork is being used to promote the matches around the world. "This is the FIFA World Cup 26 SF Bay Area host city poster," poster designer Leroid Davis said. "I wanted to include a little bit of the landscape of the Bay Area." Davis, who is from Elk Grove, won the contest to design the official FIFA World Cup poster for Bay Area matches at Levi's Stadium next year. "I still get emotional thinking about it. It's such a surreal and incredible feeling, it still feels like a dream," Davis said. He drew inspiration from some of San Francisco's most iconic sights. "The Golden Gate Bridge, along with the Bay Bridge," he said. San Francisco is one of 16 cities across North America selected to host the World Cup tournament, something that hasn't happened since 1994. Six matches will be played here. "I never thought I would be a part of something this big," Davis said. The FIFA World Cup is the most widely watched sporting event in the world and Davis is still trying to grasp the significance of his artwork being potentially seen by a billion or more people around the planet. "For something as huge as the World Cup, I can't imagine what it's going to be like," Davis said. Davis works full-time for Sacramento County, but does freelance graphic design on the side, including some past projects with the 49ers and the Kings. He's also a big soccer fan and hopes that with this win, he might be able to score some tickets to the Bay Area matches. "I am so hoping to be there," Davis said. It's unknown which teams will be playing in the Bay Area World Cup competition, but the first match begins on June 13, 2026, and continues through July 1, 2026.

Former Barcelona sporting director reflects on his tenure at Barça – 'There were stressful nights'
Barcelona have never been strangers to turmoil, but the 2021–2023 period was one of the most fragile and defining chapters in the club's modern history. Amid the financial chaos, tactical overhauls and emotional exits. Jordi Cruyff served as Barcelona's sporting director. Now, a year after stepping away, he's opened up in an interview with Diario SPORT about the behind-the-scenes reality of rebuilding a broken giant. Cryuff on rebuilding Barça and key exits For Cruyff, the mission was always clear: Modernise the club while respecting its soul. 'The challenge was to evolve without losing Barça's essence: attacking football, La Masia, and smart signings.' He admitted the club had no financial muscle and had to adapt their recruitment model. 'Without fair play, you look for players who are affordable and ready. Premier League loans helped because they bring rhythm and personality.' Cruyff played a key role in shaping the team that won La Liga under Xavi. He underlined how the team had to shift gears after Messi's exit. 'Before, you gave Leo the ball. Without him, transitions hurt us more. The game got more physical and vertical.' The exits forced Barcelona to target new profiles. 'That's why we brought in Raphinha, Christensen, Kounde, and Kessie. They were ready to compete instantly.' Letting go of legends was one of the toughest parts. 'It was hard talking to legends who had won everything. But they were elegant and generous. People don't know the financial sacrifices they made.' Lionel Messi's exit was a huge sentimental blow for Barcelona (Photo by) One of the most emotional goodbyes was Aubameyang. 'He brought goals, joy, and connected with the fans. That goodbye hurt.' Cruyff on Xabi, Yamal and Cubarsi Cruyff also touched on some strategic decisions, including the timing of Xavi's appointment. 'We needed someone with conviction. Xavi had it. He didn't hesitate.' He praised the coach for his belief in youth. 'We didn't expect a league title so soon. But the team played like veterans.' The youth generation, Cruyff believes, holds the key to the club's future. 'What Cubarsí does at 17. It's outrageous.' He added, 'Yamal has magic, and Fermin grew rapidly. That generation gives you goosebumps. 'You don't buy talent like this. You raise it.' Not every decision went to plan, and Cruyff acknowledges that. 'Not everything is a success. You plan well, but football has its own logic.' Still, he is confident that the work done was for the club's long-term benefit. 'We always tried to do what was best for Barça, even if it wasn't popular.' Among the quiet but important signings, Inigo Martínez stood out. 'In the locker room, he lifts you when you're down and grounds you when your head's too high. That's leadership.' On Lewandowski, he said: 'He made life easier. It was his dream to play for Barça, and he gave us goals and example.' Jordi Cruyff hails Lewandowski's impact (Photo by) Cruyff also spoke candidly about leaving Barcelona after winning the league. 'When the title was won, I told myself: 'That's it, I'm happy.' My dream was to help Barça during a transition.' Cruyff also reflected on the transition of sporting duties, as he stepped away and Deco took full charge. 'I was happy with Deco coming in. He has experience, connections, and sees football clearly.' He insisted that his own departure was not sudden or forced. 'It was the plan. We won the league, and I felt I had done my part.' The job wasn't without its toll. 'There were stressful nights, last-minute calls, doubts. But when you win the league and see the team grow, it's all worth it.' As Barcelona begins a new chapter under Hansi Flick, Jordi Cruyff's influence was key and serves as the DNA of the squad as it looks to now conquer Europe heading into the new season.
