Dias wants to leave, Liverpool asks for 86 million yuan, Bayern is persistent in buying and buying meaningfully

4:52pm, 20 July 2025【Football】

Colombia striker Dias has become Liverpool's most difficult "transfer problem" this summer.

Just this week, German giant Bayern Munich gave him a formal offer of 58.6 million pounds, but the Red Army refused without hesitation. Liverpool's attitude is very tough - the offer is below £86 million, no talks.

But the problem is that Dias himself is already "absent-minded". According to multiple media confirmed that Diaz has reached a personal agreement with Bayern and is inclined to join the Bundesliga giants.

And Bayern did not retreat due to the rejection of the first round of offer. They are stepping up interviews with Liverpool senior executives and are preparing to continue to put pressure. They believe that as Liverpool's own signing advances, the Reds will eventually "relax".

This is not a simple transaction, but a contest of trust, positioning and respect.

An underrated ace

Over the past season, Dias played 50 games for Liverpool, contributing 17 goals and 8 assists, helping the team win the Premier League championship. His role is far more than a breakthrough on the offensive end, but also a sharp blade in the offensive and defensive transformation.

Although the data is not as eye-catching as Salah, in Liverpool's tactical system, Dias's running, forward insertion and oppression are extremely critical factors.

But such a player who can be called the core of the system has always been "marginalized" in contract treatment.

According to British media reports, **Dias' current salary is far lower than that of the front-line main players such as Salah and Van Dijk. ** After the new coach Slot took office, although he publicly expressed his "hope to keep him", he has not made substantial progress on the issue of contract improvement.

This disappointed Dias and even began to doubt his worth in this team.

He is not unwilling to love Liverpool, but he is more eager for a stage that is "really valued".

Bayern's layout has been planned long ago

In contrast, Bayern's pursuit seems to be extremely sincere.

As early as last season, Bayern's new coach Kompani clearly hoped to introduce a striker who has the ability to blast the wing and can complete the breakthrough task independently. And Dias, just matches all these conditions.

German media revealed that Bayern executives had already communicated with Dias' agency team several rounds, and their personal contracts had almost been negotiated.

The only obstacle at present is Liverpool's asking price.

86 million pounds, the number looks like it is "a lion's mouth". But in a market where wingers are generally premium, players like Dias are obviously more than this price.

Bayern is not the sucker, they are observing and waiting for the opportunity.

Liverpool's plan is not simple

At the same time, Liverpool is also stepping up its strength to strengthen the front line.

They just signed Bundesliga genius Wiltz and introduced the explosive wing player Flynnon. The latest transfer rumors show that they have reached an agreement with Frankfurt striker Ekitic, waiting for the quotation to be finalized.

It is worth mentioning that Ekitic also attracted Newcastle's attention. The opponent's offer of £70 million was rejected, while Liverpool intends to "slightly higher" to win the competition.

This means that once Ekitic joins successfully, Liverpool will be "overwhelmed" on the front line. Slott's team has spent more than 180 million pounds this summer. Under financial pressure, selling Dias has become a realistic "balance operation".

From a business perspective, Dias is currently the most suitable "monetized asset".

He is in his year of fighting, and has the ability to fight, the market, and the room for transfer premium. More importantly, he wants to leave.

A tug-of-war about "respect"

For Dias, this may not be just a career choice, but also a confirmation of self-worth.

When you give everything but never get the same response, leaving may be a protection of dignity.

For Liverpool, keeping Dias can certainly retain tactical stability, but if he is only "people are in their hearts but not in their hearts", it will also be a hidden danger to the team's morale and the locker room atmosphere.

Bayern is still approaching, Liverpool is still insisting, but the players' attitudes are becoming clearer.

In this tripartite game, who will take a step back first?

Perhaps what determines the outcome is not the quotation number, but whether Liverpool executives can truly realize that some people should not be regarded as "replaceable" pawns.

Because in the eyes of fans, Dias is not only the Colombian soldier running on the wing, but also a part of the fighting spirit of this Red Army.

Written at the end

Liverpool once won the respect of fans around the world because of "focusing on love and friendship". But now, what they are facing is a moment that truly tests management wisdom.

Should I leave a player who desires respect, or should I adhere to financial discipline and strengthen it step by step?

fans are watching, and Dias is waiting.
