According to a report from Mundo Deportivo journalist Fernando Polo (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), FC Barcelona has a limit of €60 million that it would spend on Liverpool FC attacker Luis Diaz.
That should leave Bayern Munich in pole position to win the race for Diaz:
Barcelona have set €60m as a limit of what they’re willing to pay for Luis Díaz, and will not be involved in a bidding war with Bayern. Hansi Flick and Deco want the Colombian, who is their top target, but the signing is very complicated.
ADIf Bayern keep increasing the bidding, then there’s nothing Barça can do as they have no intention of doing anything crazy.
At this point, Bayern Munich could be in a spot where it is bidding against itself...which presents an interesting conundrum. Liverpool reportedly wants €80 million and Bayern Munich’s last bid was €67.5 million.
Which side will give in first?
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.
