Bayern Munich line up new Luis Diaz bid and approach Lyon winger as alternative option to Liverpool star
Bayern ready new bid for winger Diaz Fofana lined up as alternative if Liverpool refuse sale Reds stand firm on Colombian star's future Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Bayern are preparing a new bid for Diaz after having their initial offer, believed to be around €67.5 million (£59m/$79m), rejected by the Premier League champions, according to Fabrizio Romano. Diaz, 28, remains Bayern's top target, with personal terms reportedly already agreed. Meanwhile, Bayern have also initiated contact with Lyon for Belgian winger Malick Fofana as a potential alternative should negotiations with Liverpool break down. THE BIGGER PICTURE Liverpool maintain that Diaz is not officially on the market, but the Colombian has informed the club of his desire to leave and seek a new challenge in the Bundesliga after a reported call with Vincent Kompany. Should Bayern fail to reach an agreement, their focus will shift towards Fofana, who impressed in 2024–25 with 11 goals and seven assists for Lyon. DID YOU KNOW? Diaz contributed 17 goals and eight assists in all competitions for Liverpool in the 2024–25 season, his most productive campaign since joining from Porto. On the other hand, Fofana, 20, made his senior Belgium debut last season and has attracted interest from clubs across Europe, including Liverpool and Chelsea. WHAT NEXT FOR BAYERN MUNICH? If unsuccessful in their bid to sign Diaz, the club will accelerate talks with Lyon for Fofana to avoid being left short-handed on the flanks. Bayern are also managing squad restructuring following high-profile departures and summer signings, with further incomings possible as the transfer window progresses.

'I was enjoying being at Chelsea' – EA Sports' new cover star explains why he left London
An EA Sports' new cover star has explained why he ended up leaving Chelsea and London despite enjoying being there. Young super star Jamal Musiala changed his international team from England to Germany, something that everyone in England will surely regret seeing. EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea start talks to sign Premier League centre back this week! And he did the same thing by leaving and English side to join a German one as well, swapping Chelsea for Bayern Munich. Masala joined Bayern from Chelsea for just a few hundred thousand euros, but he now has a reported transfer value of €140 million. What a rise to the top he has had, and the fact he changed England to Germany in more ways than one, must be hugely disappointing for anyone in England and Chelsea. But why did he leave? Jamal Musiala slices through a Champions League midfield. The Stuttgart-born superstar sat down with The Athletic, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, and explained his motives for his move to Bayern: 'It wasn't planned that we would leave England to go back to Germany. I had just finished my school exams and I was enjoying being at Chelsea. But then Bayern came in and, again, it just felt right to try something new. I knew how big Bayern were and, in the end, I just thought, 'Why not? Take the chance — go for it, and let's see if it works out'. I never try to think too much about what could go wrong in these moments. I'd much rather trust myself and go with the flow.' In other news today Mamadou Sarr is rejoining Strasbourg on loan from Chelsea after Fabrizio Romano called the 'here we go' done deal on that one late last night. Meanwhile, it turns out that PSG reps were already assuming that they would win the Club World Cup before the game against Chelsea was even played outin some remarkable news released over the weekend!

Liverpool forward on the brink of agreeing transfer move
Diaz and Bayern are close It's the German giants Bayern Munich who have displayed the most interest in Diaz so far and they're intent on getting their man, despite the high €100m asking price that Liverpool have put on him. We didn't know if Liverpool would consider budging on their demands, since the stance that club has shown so far has been one of 'he's not for sale', but the latest reports claims there's been movement. According to Nicolo Schira, who posted an update on X: "Luis Diaz is getting closer to Bayern Munich from Liverpool for €75m. Agreement in principle with the winger for a contract until 2030." That figure would equate to around £65m which is £16m profit on the £49m Liverpool paid in 2022.
