Barcelona learn massive financial demands for attacking transfer target
La Liga champions Barcelona have been made aware of the kind of fee with which they would be required to part, to secure a deal for Liverpool star Luis Díaz. And the news will no doubt mark a heavy blow for those hopeful of the Colombian international ultimately making his way to the Camp Nou this summer. Advertisement As revealed by the reliable David Ornstein of The Athletic, Liverpool received a big-money offer for Díaz earlier today. As much came by way of Bayern Munich, and is understood to have been worth €67.5 million. The Anfield hierarchy, however, rejected as much without so much as a second thought. Not only that, but the Reds are said to have made it known that for Díaz's sale to even be taken into consideration this summer, a proposal worth a minimum of €100 million will be needed. At such a price, Barcelona can be considered as all but out of the running for the 28-year-old attacker. Conor Laird – GSFN

Liverpool reject Bayern Munich's €67.5m Luis Díaz bid and state forward not for sale
Liverpool have rejected an offer from Bayern Munich to sign Luis Díaz for €67.5m (£58.6m). Bayern and Barcelona have been linked with the Colombia international this summer and the Bundesliga champions submitted their first bid on Tuesday. Liverpool rejected the approach and reiterated that the 28-year-old was not for sale. The Premier League champions value Díaz at more than €100m given his status on the domestic and global stage and market prices.

Liverpool's valuation is based on their accounting position rather than an asking price. Díaz has two years remaining on his deal and there have been no talks so far over an extension. Liverpool are relaxed over the contract situation and regard Díaz as an important part of Arne Slot's plans for the next two seasons. The former Porto forward, who scored 17 goals last season and was a key figure in Liverpool's title winning campaign, has indicated he is open to a move this summer. But it would take a significant improvement on Bayern's offer to test Liverpool's resolve to keep him. Guardian

Football transfer rumours: Ferran Torres to swap Barcelona for Aston Villa?
Fresh from selling their women's team to their wholly separate, er, parent company, Aston Villa feel in the mood for waving their wedge about, with Ferran Torres their target. The Spanish site Fichajes says that Barcelona, no strangers themselves to imaginative accountancy flexes, have been sounded out for a £43m move for the forward. Eberechi Eze to Arsenal seems to have acquired some momentum since the Mill first mulled it over on Tuesday, and the Sun is now touting the Gunners as clear favourites to gazump their rivals Tottenham to the Crystal Palace attacking midfielder's signature. Palace are holding out for £68m but Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, has apparently held talks with Eze's people as interest is stepped up. Liverpool have been busy buying forwards this summer but one big name heading out the door might be Luis Díaz. reports that the Colombian is weighing up his options and being notably noncommittal amid interest from Bayern Munich, Barcelona and the Saudi Pro League, though he has also insisted he remains happy on Merseyside. Darwin Núñez is a likelier departure, with Napoli lodging a £42m bid for the Uruguay frontman. If Bayern don't land Díaz, they might have a better chance of snapping up Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku. The Bundesliga champions have sounded out a loan move for the 27-year-old French forward in the past but Chelsea want a straight sale and Bayern remain interested. Wednesday's Jadon Sancho news has the winger being prepared to take a pay cut to facilitate a move from Manchester United to Juventus. United are still holding out for a £25m transfer fee but the wage bill on top of that would be substantial. Il Corriere dello Sport reports that Sancho is ready to accept a £7m-a-year deal but Juve want no more than €6m (£5.2m) plus add-ons. Everton, eager to boost a threadbare squad, have been linked with the highly regarded Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, though they may face competition domestically from Brentford, Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham, not to mention abroad from Porto and Stuttgart. Sunderland are closing in on a deal for Club Brugge's Chemsdine Talbi, reports transfer news guru Fabrizio Romano. The winger is poised to complete a €23m (£19.8m) move to Régis Le Bris' newly promoted side. Their fellow promotees Burnley could be losing Maxime Estève to Tottenham. According to L'Equipe, Spurs have 'resumed discussions' with Burnley over a move for the 23-year-old French centre-back, who was an ever-present in Scott Parker's side last term.

Bayern Munich ‘willing to pay more' to beat Barcelona to key transfer target
La Liga giants Barcelona are at serious risk of missing out on a leading summer transfer market to another of the continent's top clubs. That's according to Diario Sport, who point towards Luis Díaz as the player in question. Advertisement Wide-man Díaz has of course seen his name take its place front and centre in the headlines across Europe over recent days. As much comes amid alleged interest in his services on the part of both Barcelona, and Bayern Munich. In the case of the former, the Blaugrana have pivoted back towards the Colombian, after coming up short in efforts to land Nico Williams from Athletic Club. German champions Bayern, meanwhile, already on the lookout for attacking reinforcements following Leroy Sané's departure, over the weekend lost Jamal Musiala to a long-term injury. The Bavarians are therefore also ready to ramp up their pursuit of Luis Díaz. Advertisement And if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media is anything to go by, then the board at the Allianz Arena are viewed as being in a superior position than their Camp Nou counterparts when it comes to the chances of striking a deal with Liverpool. As per a report from Sport: 'Bayern have entered the bidding strongly and would be willing to offer a higher sum than Barça.' Conor Laird – GSFN
