According to Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk, Bayern Munich views its ability to pay Liverpool FC attacker Luis Diaz as a big advantage in the sweepstakes to land the 28-year-old:
Bayern are keen to lower the wage bill at the club. However, Luis Diaz could easily earn €50m [£43.2m] gross (perhaps a little bit more with add-ons factored in), which could be more than he’s currently earning at Liverpool at the moment. Ultimately, there’s an agreement between FC Bayern and the player, which is why
ADhe knows he can earn more in Munich.
At Bayern Munich, they showed Diaz that they really like him. At Liverpool, he’s one of several players, but in Munich, they gave him the feeling that he could be the next big star. So, that’s surely an argument in Bayern’s favour.
Certainly, the pay matters — it just comes at an odd time as Bayern Munich has been rumored to be seeking different ways to cut its salary budget. This move definitely will not help those efforts if it goes through.
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.
