Report: Bayern optimistic about Díaz despite refusal to bid above €80m

Here’s the latest update from Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Luis Díaz.

FC Bayern is optimistic that they will be able to add Luis Díaz to their ranks in the coming 7 to 10 days, according to a Sport BILD report.

According to the magazine, Liverpool FC is now willing to negotiate, however, other sources suggest a sticking point for the Bavarians.

Bayern won’t offer much more than the recently reported €75million – ‘Abendzeitung’ estimates a maximum of €80million would be the limit.

Whether the sum will ultimately be sufficient remains to be seen with news that the Reds are believed to be holding out for €100million.

Given the large discrepancy in valuations, a couple of alternative transfer models are likely to be considered.

Furthermore, BILD is speculating about a sell-on share should the Colombian winger one day leave, the Reds could earn a share of the profit.
