Times: Bayern is expected to offer Dias again soon, Liverpool asks for £86m
According to the Times, Bayern did not give up on Liverpool striker Dias after his first offer was rejected, and they are expected to send another offer soon.
report said that Bayern Munich plans to make a second offer for Dias after the first £58.6 million offer was rejected by Liverpool. As a reinforcement target for the offensive line, Bayern has been in contact with Dias for some time.
Although Bayern has not reached a verbal agreement with the 28-year-old, they believe Diaz will be willing to join if an agreement is reached with Liverpool.
Bayern's shortlist for winger signings has become shorter in recent weeks: both Nico and Balcola decided to stay in their respective clubs. In addition, Bayern also sent Sane, Terr and bid farewell to Mueller this summer, and then suffered an unfortunate situation where Musiara's fibula fracture is expected to be on standby for several months.
reported that Diaz has become Bayern's current number one signing target, but reaching a deal with Liverpool could be a difficult task. At the beginning, Bayern's plan was not to offer a basic transfer fee of more than £52 million.
And their offer on Tuesday has exceeded this amount, but it is understood that Bayern will make another offer soon. It is reported that Liverpool estimates Dias about £86 million, which may be a negotiation strategy or to discourage other potential buyers.
Diaz has two years left in his contract with Liverpool, and there is currently no sign that the two sides have reached an agreement on a contract extension. He joined Liverpool from Porto for a basic transfer fee of £37.5 million in January 2022, and has made 148 appearances for the club and scored 41 goals. The report also stated that after Jota's death, Bayern has been very cautious in contacting Liverpool on the matter. They have now taken the first step and given their pressure on forward signings, they are likely to take the next move soon.
