Hansi Flick and Deco want the Colombian, who is their top target, but the signing is very complicated. If Bayern keep increasing the bidding, then there\u2019s nothing Bar\u00e7a can do as they have no intention of doing anything crazy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"S2Kdt7\">At this point, Bayern Munich could be in a spot where it is bidding against itself&#8230;which presents an interesting conundrum. <a href=\"https:\/\/liverpooloffside.sbnation.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a> reportedly wants \u20ac80 million and Bayern Munich\u2019s last bid was \u20ac67.5 million.<\/p>\n<p id=\"CQUrOI\">Which side will give in first?<\/p>\n<p id=\"QnlMaK\">The careers of <a href=\"https:\/\/liverpooloffside.sbnation.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a> FC\u2019s Luis Diaz and Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl could end up intertwined if the transfer move goes through. Meanwhile, is the rest of the Bundesliga sick of being bullied by Bayern Munich and is the league bleeding too much talent? Also, Paul Wanner and Lennart Karl could be in line for opportunities during the preseason&#8230;can the youngster take advantage of those chances? Finally, the father of Florian Wirtz talks through how the decision to join <a href=\"https:\/\/liverpooloffside.sbnation.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a> played out and you can hear how HBO screwed BPW this week.
