Man...Liverpool FC is having quite a summer.

Per Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk, the Reds are planning to meet with Bayern Munich soon to discuss a sale of Luis Diaz, where the revenue will be used to pay for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitiké:

✅ There will be a meeting between Bayern and Liverpool

for negotiations for a Transfer of Luis Díaz (28) soon

for Ekitiké. Should Liverpool get their desired player, they can invest the Transfer-fee of Díaz

After swiping Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen (and really Bayern Munich, too) earlier this summer, Liverpool is seeking to land another Bundesliga star.

Oh, and if you wondering why FC Barcelona has not been super-active in the Diaz sweepstakes, it could be because Hansi Flick’s club has its eyes on Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford. Below, is what Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg is reporting on the situation:

As exclusively revealed, Marcus #Rashford has been and remains the absolute top priority for FC Barcelona.

Hansi Flick has approved Rashford days ago. As reported, Barca are pushing for a loan move, not a permanent deal. Now, the first offer is on the table:

A loan with an option to buy after @TheAthleticFC. #MUFC

Rashford very keen on the move. Personal terms won’t be an issue. DEAL ON.

If you were rooting against a Bayern Munich acquisition of Diaz, well, you are not in a good spot at the moment.


The careers of Liverpool FC’s 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...can the youngster take advantage of those chances? Finally, the father of Florian Wirtz talks through how the decision to join Liverpool played out and you can hear how HBO screwed BPW this week.
