Liverpool have turned down a €67.5 million offer from Bayern Munich for forward Luis Díaz, firmly stating that the Colombian international is not for sale. The bid, submitted by the Bundesliga champions, marks the first official approach for the 28-year-old this summer amid ongoing interest from both Bayern and Barcelona.
Díaz, who played a vital role in Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning campaign last season by scoring 17 goals, remains a key figure in the club’s future plans. Despite interest from top European clubs and the Saudi Pro League, Liverpool maintain that the winger is integral to their squad for the next two seasons under new head coach Arne Slot.
The forward has two years remaining on his current contract, and while there have been no talks yet over an extension, the club is reportedly calm about the situation. Liverpool’s valuation of Díaz exceeds €100 million, a figure shaped by both his influence on the pitch and broader market dynamics. However, club insiders suggest the valuation reflects accounting considerations rather than a formal asking price.
Díaz has privately indicated he is open to a move this summer, but any potential deal would require a much larger financial offer to sway Liverpool’s stance. The club is not under pressure to sell and has no intention of entertaining bids that fall short of their valuation.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Everton have completed the signing of goalkeeper Mark Travers from Bournemouth. The Republic of Ireland international has agreed to a four-year deal and is expected to serve as experienced back-up to England’s No. 1 Jordan Pickford. The deal is understood to be worth £4 million, with additional performance-related add-ons included.
Travers had been with Bournemouth for nine years and spent the latter half of last season on loan at Middlesbrough. Everton’s manager sought reinforcements in the goalkeeping department following the departures of Asmir Begovic and João Virgínia, and Travers is seen as a reliable addition with top-flight and Championship experience.
In related transfer activity, Bournemouth are set to bolster their squad with the signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. The two clubs have agreed on a £25 million fee, and the move is expected to progress quickly. Petrovic is viewed as a long-term solution in goal for Bournemouth as they look to strengthen ahead of the new campaign.
