Each team: Diaz requests a contract renewal or transfer, Barcelona cannot pay EUR 82 million, and Bayern is willing to negotiate
Daily Sports reported that the future of Louis Dias may soon be clear. The Colombian player plans to take action this week to make a decision and not even rule out the possibility of staying at Liverpool.
According to Colombian reporter Pipe Sierra, Dias intends to have a dialogue with the club and hopes that the team can make a clear statement. He hopes the club can offer a reasonable contract extension, or agree to sell him so he can consider other offers on the table. In short, either renewal or transfer, this is an ultimatum from Dias.
Dias is one of the lower-paid players in Liverpool. Although he is usually a regular in the starting lineup and performs well offensively, his salary is currently at the bottom and bottom level of the team, ranking 16th. This season, Dias has played both center and winger, showing extremely high versatility. Dias and his team are not opposed to staying at Liverpool, but they believe the club needs to make a reasonable assessment of him. His contract will expire in 2027 and he does not want to and will continue to work under the existing conditions. He asked the club to be clear because he knew it might be his last chance to fight for the best transfer and contract in his career.
From Colombia, the players will only take action after knowing Liverpool's decision. If the club is unwilling to renew the contract, he will directly request a transfer. Currently, the club is in a very sensitive period due to Jota's death and therefore does not want to disrupt the atmosphere further. However, as the transfer market advances, Diaz may lose some opportunities.
At present, Diaz has received a offer from Bayern Munich, which has attracted the interest of Barcelona and Saudi Arabia. However, Colombia said that Dias will not go to Saudi Arabia and has not reached an agreement with Bayern. If Barcelona cannot pay enough transfer fees, Dias may choose to join Bayern. It will depend on the final transfer price and whether Liverpool is willing to let the person go.
Currently, Liverpool is trying to sell Nunes (the negotiations with Naples have entered a later stage) before making further decisions. If the deal is successfully completed, Liverpool will be unlikely to sell Dias, or at least not lower the asking price. According to multiple sources, Diaz's estimation is 82 million euros, which is too high for Barcelona, and Bayern is willing to negotiate on this.
