Liverpool ‘agree' Luis Diaz transfer with Bayern Munich
The left winger has been eager to secure an exit out of Anfield ahead of next season, with the Bundesliga champions chasing his signature in recent weeks.
Bayern had their opening offer in the region of £58.5m (€67m) turned down by the Reds, but returned with a second bid, said to be worth around £69m (€80m).
Liverpool 'agree' Luis Diaz transfer with Bayern Munich
Their persistence has seemingly paid off, with multiple reports claiming Liverpool have accepted the Bavarian outfit's latest approach.
The Athletic and Sky Sports News both report that the total fee comes to £65.5m (€75m). Diaz has been given permission to leave Liverpool's pre-season training camp in Tokyo to complete the move and sign a four-year contract, with the option for a further year.
Liverpool were unwilling to sell one of their key players, but the Colombia international forced their hand by insisting on a move away. He had two years left to run on his contract.
Arne Slot confirmed that Diaz was left out of Saturday's pre-season friendly defeat to AC Milan due to the speculation surrounding his future.
'There's a lot of rumours around him lately and I cannot go into that,' the head coach told LFC TV. 'He's training well with us but we have decided, for now, not to play him yet.
'I'm used to talking to most of my players on a regular basis. Like I said, Lucho is training really well and we've decided that he's not playing at the moment in the games. I cannot comment much more about that.'
Barcelona also made an approach for Diaz in June, but Liverpool turned them down. They instead signed Marcus Rashford on loan with an obligation to buy from Manchester United.

Liverpool agree to sign 40-goal forward
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign an exciting forward. We're all hyper-focused on the Alexander Isak situation at the moment. Understandably so, Liverpool could pull off a truly remarkable transfer if they manage to get a deal over the line for the Swedish forward. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now However, Isak is not the only transfer Liverpool are going to be working on. Richard Hughes is in Tokyo at the moment and him and the rest of his team are going to be very busy making moves in the market. Most notably, they will also be looking to sign a centre-back and there will be a way they will want to replace Luis Diaz as well, who is expected to depart. On top of that, they have a responsibility to negotiate sales for some of the club's players who want to move on. Notably, the likes of Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton. Hughes is not solely responsible for bringing in younger talent, players like Rio Ngumoha, for example, last summer, however, he does have final say in the matter. And it looks like the Reds are working around the clock to bring in someone potentially as exciting as Ngumoha to their academy ranks. 17-year-old Will Wright scored over 40 goals for Salford City's academy last season, and he's already featured for the club's first team as a 16-year-old four times. One of those appearances included a late cameo against Manchester City in the FA Cup. Impressively, last season there were only two 16-year-olds who made appearances in the FA Cup in the third round and beyond and one of them was Ngumoha and the other was Wright. Now this summer, Wright begun pre-season by scoring four times in three appearances for Salford's first team. It was rumoured that Liverpool were interested in him. He fits the bill in terms of the kind of striker Arne Slot likes to use. Wright is tall, quick and he thrives in front of goal.

Dortmund could make an approach to United for Jadon Sancho
Borussia Dortmund is reportedly assessing their conditions and also discussing internally. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 29, 2025, 18:44 IST Borussia Dortmund is reportedly assessing their conditions and also discussing internally on whether to make a bid for Jadon Sancho or not in this transfer window. Jadon Sancho has been left out of United's squad for the pre-season tour to give him time to find a new club for him. Dortmund is not sure about making an approach for the forward. United are asking €20 million for Sancho and Juventus also seem to be interested. The English winger, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Signal Iduna Park, has been left out of Manchester United's pre-season tour as the club looks to facilitate his departure. United are demanding around €20 million for Sancho, a fee that Dortmund are believed to be considering carefully as they evaluate their squad needs and financial flexibility. While the Bundesliga side is yet to make an official approach, they remain a potential destination given Sancho's successful past spell at the club. Juventus have also shown interest, which could spark competition for his signature. With Sancho seeking regular playing time away from Old Trafford, his future could become one of the key talking points in the remaining weeks of the transfer window.

Man City reject £25m transfer bid for in-demand starlet
Man City have reportedly rejected a £25 million transfer bid from Nottingham Forest for James McAtee. The midfielder, who can also play on the wing, has just one year remaining on his contract and has been linked with clubs in the Premier League and Bundesliga. Crystal Palace, Borussia Dortmund, Everton, West Ham United and Eintracht Frankfurt are said to interested in signing the 22-year-old, who scored three goals in 15 Premier League appearances last season. He scored another three goals during City's run to the FA Cup final, although he was not involved in either the semi-final win over Forest or defeat to Palace in the final. Man City reject £25m James McAtee transfer bid from Nottingham Forest With McAtee's future up in the air, Forest submitted a bid of £25m, but it was rejected by Man City, according to Sky Sports News. The report adds that the player's representatives have travelled to Germany for 'talks' with Eintracht. McAtee himself reportedly visited the club earlier this month as his exit looms large. The youngster may be seeking guaranteed gametime next season after City signed Rayan Cherki, who will likely compete with him for minutes, from Lyon for an initial transfer fee of £30.45m. The Telegraph previously reported that City value McAtee at around £35m. Any fee that the club receive for the academy graduate would be booked as pure profit under the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules. Meanwhile, Sky Sports News also report that Celtic are 'in talks' to sign Man City centre-back Jahmai Simpson-Pusey. The clubs are 'discussing terms' on a season-long loan deal. A number of English clubs are also 'keen' on the 19-year-old, but City will only entertain loan offers. City have also agreed a loan deal with Hull City for teenage winger Joey Ndala.
