Bayern Munich have resumed talks with Liverpool over a deal for forward Luis Diaz.<\/p>\n
The Bavarian club are yet to submit a second bid for the Colombian winger but remain keen on a deal, and are now in regular dialogue with Liverpool.<\/p>\n
The Athletic\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0on July 15 that Liverpool had rejected an offer worth \u20ac67.5million (\u00a358.6m; $78.8m) from Bayern for Diaz, who has made it clear that he wants to leave the Anfield club.<\/p>\n Diaz\u2019s Liverpool contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n He did not feature in their pre-season games against Preston North End, Stoke City or AC Milan. Liverpool head coach Arne Slot confirmed on Saturday that his absence from the latter game was due to the uncertainty over his future<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIn Lucho\u2019s situation it was (linked to his future), yeah,\u201d Slot said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are a lot of rumours around it lately and I cannot go into that. He is training really well with us but we have decided, for now, not to play him yet.<\/p>\n \u201cYes (I\u2019ve spoken to Diaz about it) but I am used to talking to most of my players on a regular basis. Like I said, Lucho is training really well but we\u2019ve decided that he is best not playing at the moment in the games and I cannot comment much more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n Bayern have been in the market for a forward this summer but have missed out on several targets.<\/p>\n
