Diaz, 28, was the subject of a similar approach from Barcelona earlier this summer which the Premier League champions also rebuffed.
Liverpool are adamant that Diaz is not for sale at any price this summer, given his key contribution to the team since his arrival from Porto in 2022.
The Colombia international scored 22 goals for club and country last season as he emerged as an integral member of Arne Slot's title-winning side.
He scored 13 goals and made seven assists in the league as Liverpool won the title by 10 points.
Diaz, who has two years left to run on his contract at Anfield, attracted interest from Manchester City last summer and also has admirers in Saudi Arabia.

"I'm very happy at Liverpool - I've always said so," said Diaz when on international duty earlier this summer.
"The transfer market is opening, and we're trying to arrange what's best for us. I'm waiting to see what happens.
"If Liverpool give us a good extension or I have to see out my two-year contract, I'll be happy. It all depends on them. I'm here to decide and see what's best for us and the future."

Andrée Jeglertz appointed as Man City head coach
Manchester City have today appointed Andrée Jeglertz as their new head coach. The 53-year-old former Swedish international will make the move to Manchester after departing his role with the Danish national side. Signing a four-year deal, Andrée Jeglertz will join up with Manchester City following the conclusion of this summer's Euros. Advertisement Jeglertz boasts a strong background in women's football. He won the UEFA Women's Cup (now the Champions League) with Umeå IK in 2004 and led the team to two more finals in 2007 and 2008. During his time there, Umeå also won four league titles and the Swedish Cup. He later spent time managing in the men's game with Djurgårdens IF. In 2010, he took charge of Finland's women's national team, helping them qualify for the 2013 Euros — only the third time in their history — and was named Finnish Manager of the Year in 2012. More recently, he managed Linköpings FC before taking over Denmark after the 2023 World Cup. Under his leadership, Denmark finished second in their Euro qualifying group behind World Champions Spain. They'll face Germany, Poland, and Sweden in Group C this summer. 'The Club is one of the biggest in the world' Speaking on his appointment Jeglertz said 'I'm honoured to be part of this big and great Club, but also excited to get started. I'm really looking forward to it. The Club is one of the biggest in the world. But also the way Therese and Charlotte are presenting the Club. What does it stand for, what do you want from a coach and everything that's connected to football? But there are a lot of things around the Club that make me excited about the job.' Andrée Jeglertz signs for Manchester City as the new Women's Manager at Manchester City Academy on June 09, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by Declan Lloyd/Manchester City FC) Advertisement He continued, 'I think the most important thing for me is to, first of all, how do I maximise the players? What kind of players do we have? What is the philosophy of the Club? And then of course my own philosophy to have a combination of those things. That is what you will see with the team. For me, of course, this team requires a lot of attacking game, a fluent game like we are talking about. But when we don't have the ball, to quickly as possible, and as high up as possible to win the ball back. I would like to control the games and with the ball mostly, and I think with this squad there are a lot of good opportunities for that.' The new City boss was however brutally honest about the sides disappointing 2024/25 campaign. 'There are a lot of things that I think are already very good. The attacking game is very direct in some parts; you're creating a lot of goals. But we need to be better in finding ways to do it in different ways, so we're not just attacking in one way. But also talking about the defending, there are things in watching the games that we can improve. I need to put in more detail of those things. I need to talk about the evaluation from the coaching staff and from the Club in total. What are the things they have seen. After that, add my own ideas.' Related articles from Her Football Hub:

Liverpool soccer star Diogo Jota was on a 10-hour drive when he died in car crash — because he wasn't allowed to fly
Liverpool soccer star Diogo Jota was on a 10-hour drive to a ferry in Spain when the Lamborghini he was in crashed, killing him and his brother — because doctors told him not to fly post-surgery, according to reports. The 28-year-old Portuguese forward had been heading from Portugal back to the UK to kick off pre-season training when his Lamborghini veered off a road in Zamora, Spain, Thursday night, the BBC reported. Jota had been traveling with his brother, Andre Silva, from Porto, Portugal, to Santander, Spain, where there's a ferry route to Portsmouth, England, when tragedy struck, the outlet reported. It's unclear who was driving. 4 Diogo Jota controls the ball during the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg football match between Paris Saint-Germain (FRA) and Liverpool (ENG) at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris on March 5, 2025. AFP via Getty Images The soccer star had opted to take the longer route because he'd been advised by doctors not to get on a plane while recovering from a minor lung-related surgery, according to Telegraph Sport. The Lamborghini's tire appeared to have burst as it was 'overtaking' another vehicle and both men died when the car veered off the road and burst into flames, according to investigators. The deadly crash happened along an isolated stretch of highway near the Portuguese border. 4 Jota had opted to take the longer route because he'd been advised by doctors not to get on a plane.
