Liverpool tipped to perform transfer U-TURN over Luis Diaz
But sporting director Richard Hughes is currently not minded to give into Diaz's demands - said to be around £140k to £150k per week.
And it appears Liverpool are somewhat content to let Diaz's terms expire rather than commit to a new, wallet-busting deal for the winger.

Reports suggest Liverpool have got NO plans to sell the Colombian international during this transfer window despite interest from both Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
Indeed it was reported on Wednesday that a bid to sign Diaz from Bayern had been turned down.
Al-Nassr could test Liverpool's Diaz stance
With the Anfield club valuing Diaz at around €80m, there is little prospect of either European giant putting the Reds under threat. But one team could change all of that. Al-Nassr are planning to spend big this summer with Darwin Nunez also among their targets.
And according to a new report in the Daily Mail, Cristiano Ronaldo's club COULD test Liverpool's resolve over Diaz. Should the Riyadh giants meet his asking price then Liverpool would all of a sudden reconsider their stance.

The attraction in selling Luis Diaz
The attraction is obvious. Diaz has been a good - if not great - Liverpool player over the terms of his contract. He had the season of his life last term - meaning his transfer value is probably as high as it will ever be.

Receiving €80m for the wide man would certainly go a long way towards funding other arrivals - including a new No9 and a new centre-back.
Liverpool are quite well covered on the left - with Florian Wirtz expected to line up from that side and Cody Gakpo another capable option.

End of an Era: Thomas Muller's Plays His Last Bayern Munich Game Amid MLS Links
After the final whistle to his Club World Cup, Thomas Muller waved to the Bayern Munich fans one last time. His quarter-century with the German club is over. The 35-year-old Müller went out with a 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals on Saturday, a bittersweet ending to a tenure filled with so much glory. Müller came on as a substitute in the 80th minute and appeared to a draw a penalty in the waning seconds of stoppage time when PSG's Nuno Mendes delivered a high challenge in the area. But the video review showed that Mendes' foot struck the ball, just missing Müller's chin, and that finished off the PSG victory. "I'm still fully in work mode now," Müller said. "It doesn't feel much different from before the game when we tried, and I also tried, to just get one round further." He wasn't ready to reflect on his brilliant career at Bayern, which began when he joined the club as a 10-year-old in the summer of 2000. "In the end, maybe we deserved more," Müller said. "But in football when you have these tight matches, it's sometimes a coin flip. And, yes, we lost it." Müller made more appearances than any other player at Bayern, with more than 200 goals scored and more than 200 set up for others. He led the club to a record 13 Bundesliga titles, going out with one last championship this past season. But Bayern announced in April that it would not extend his hefty contract for another season. "Of course, I am aware that this was my last game, and I will see what goes through my head in the coming days," Müller said. He hasn't revealed his future plans, though there have been reports linking him to a possible move to U.S.-based Major League Soccer. "At the moment, I'm not in the mood to share my deeper thoughts about my career," Müller said. "We lost a big fight, a very important game for us." Reporting by The Associated Press.
