Hugo Ekitike is expected to join very shortly, too, in a huge deal. The Reds have not been shy about upgrading their squad if they think there's a chance to.
That includes sales. Trent Alexander-Arnold left for a transfer fee, somehow, while Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah both moved on.
Now the attention turns to attack, where Liverpool are expected to sell some stars. Darwin Nunez is one of those - he's been linked to several clubs now, even if a deal is proving difficult.
And then there's Luis Diaz. That's a complicated one as Liverpool aren't all that keen to sell the Colombian.
On the other hand, there's plenty of interest in him. And now a deal might be getting over the line.
Luis Diaz wants offer accepted
Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra reports that Luis Diaz has asked Liverpool to accept Bayern Munich's latest offer. The caveat here is that he wants it accepted if the Reds aren't willing to upgrade his contract.
It certainly doesn't look likely that he'll get the deal he wants. Bayern's new offer, reported to be around €75m, is a massive one and we imagine Liverpool will in fact accept this.
Diaz is now 28 and actively wanting to leave the club. There's already an elite left-winger at the club in Cody Gakpo, too, while Liverpool's asking price was always said to be around €80m.

🚨 BREAKING: Everton sign up-and-coming Bayern Munich defender
Everton have completed the signing of Bayern Munich left-back Adam Aznou. Aznou becomes the fourth signing by David Moyes' side this summer as they seek to lay down solid foundations in their new home at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The 19-year-old spent the second half of last season in his native Spain with Valladolid, playing 13 times in their unsuccessful battle against LaLiga relegation. He made a senior debut for Bayern in their 3-0 win over Union Berlin in November 2024 before making a further three appearances for the Bundesliga champions. The Toffees struck a reported €9m (£7.8m) to secure the 19-year-old's signature. 📸 Juan Manuel Serrano Arce - 2025 Getty Images

Everton sign Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich on four-year contract
Everton have completed the signing of Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich. The Athletic reported earlier this week that Everton were progressing a deal for the left-back, who underwent a club medical on Monday ahead of signing a four-year deal through to 2029. Everton sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, indicated a fee in the region of €9million (£7.87m, $10.6m at current conversion rates) was being discussed for Aznou. A sell-on clause is included in the agreement between the two clubs. We have completed the transfer of left-back Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich for an undisclosed fee. Welcome to Everton, Adam! 🇲🇦🔵 — Everton (@Everton) July 29, 2025 Aznou's arrival strengthens Everton's left-back depth, with Vitalii Mykolenko the club's only existing senior player in the position following the departure of Ashley Young, who has since joined Ipswich Town on a free transfer. Aznou joined Barcelona's academy in 2019 before becoming part of Bayern's youth setup in 2022. He featured at under-17 and under-19 level before making his professional debut for Bayern's reserve team in February 2024 as a 17-year-old. Advertisement He made his first team debut later that year before being loaned to La Liga club Real Valladolid in February, where he made 13 appearances. Aznou was born in Spain and represented the country up to under-17 level but opted to play for Morocco and has been capped six times by the senior side. ()

Dave Hendrick on Diaz 'obviously the right time to sell'
Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich: A Liverpool Departure That Makes Sense Luis Diaz's time at Liverpool has come to an end, with the Colombian winger set to join Bayern Munich in a deal worth £65 million including add-ons. As said by Dave Hendrick on The Daily Red Podcast, both clubs have agreed the fee, and Diaz has accepted personal terms with the German champions. While the breakdown of the fee is still unknown, Hendrick called it 'really good business for us,' especially considering Diaz is nearing 29 with two years remaining on his contract. Arrival and Early Impact at Liverpool Diaz joined Liverpool in January 2022 from Porto, costing the club an initial £37.5 million with a further £12.5 million in potential add-ons. While the exact figures paid are unclear, Hendrick estimated, 'We paid all in around £48–49 million for Luis Diaz.' His immediate impact was undeniable. Diaz provided a 'real shot in the arm' to a squad chasing the quadruple, helping secure both domestic cups and propelling Liverpool's push for league and European glory. In that initial half-season, Diaz gave Liverpool fans reason to believe they had found a fitting heir to Sadio Mané. 'He gave Sadio a strong last six months,' said Hendrick, noting that Diaz's performances on the left allowed Mané to shift centrally and regain form during the run-in. Frustrations and Setbacks Despite flashes of brilliance, Diaz's Liverpool career was marred by inconsistency and misfortune. A serious knee injury in the 2022/23 season sidelined him for months. 'He missed months and months… he ends up missing half the season,' Hendrick said, reflecting on the failed non-surgical recovery attempt and a reinjury that derailed his campaign. Then came personal trauma in the 2023/24 season, as Diaz's father was kidnapped in Colombia. 'Quite a traumatic experience,' Hendrick acknowledged, adding that Diaz 'never fully found any kind of consistency that year.' Still, when Arne Slot arrived, he backed the winger. Diaz started the 2024/25 season brightly, even transitioning into a central role due to injuries and form issues elsewhere. Although his productivity dipped midseason, he remained committed. 'He was still working really hard for the team… still doing a lot of the things we needed him to do.' His hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen was a highlight, and as the season progressed, 'he catches fire again and he finishes the season really well.' He ended the campaign with a personal-best 17 goals, contributing significantly to Liverpool's Premier League title triumph. Why Bayern Makes Sense for Diaz For Diaz, the move to Bayern Munich offers a new challenge and, as Hendrick sees it, an ideal fit. 'I think Diaz will smash it at Bayern,' he said confidently. The Bundesliga's less demanding defences and the players surrounding Diaz were key factors. 'He never played with a great number nine' at Liverpool, but now he'll have Harry Kane. 'Harry Kane makes his wingers better,' Hendrick added. He'll also line up alongside Michael Olise and, eventually, Jamal Musiala. And once Alphonso Davies returns from injury, Diaz will have one of the fastest full-backs in the world overlapping. 'That's a great, great situation for Diaz to be going into,' Hendrick said. He also noted that Joshua Kimmich and Tom Bischof provide excellent service and creativity in midfield. No Regrets and a Smart Sale For Liverpool, the sale is strategic and timely. 'It's obviously the right time to sell and it's a good fee,' said Hendrick. With a net spend of just £136 million this window, Liverpool are operating smartly, especially in contrast to their rivals. 'We couldn't be in a better position,' he added, pointing to the club's financial flexibility. Diaz departs with 41 goals in 148 appearances and leaves as a Premier League champion. He arrived to fill an impossible gap and did so with moments of genuine magic. 'Lucho did what we needed him to do,' Hendrick summarised, and for that, he should leave Anfield with everyone's best wishes.
