Luis Díaz leaves Liverpool for Bayern Munich, Chiesa rejects Bayern move Luis Díaz departed Liverpool this summer, joining Bayern Munich in a £65.5 million deal after failing to secure a new contract. The Colombian forward won every domestic trophy during his time at Anfield. His exit is part of a major attacking reshuffle under new manager Arne Slot, with Darwin Núñez also leaving for Al-Hilal. During negotiations for Díaz, Bayern inquired about Federico Chiesa, hoping to bring him in on loan. However, Chiesa made it clear he was fully committed to Liverpool, refusing to even meet with Bayern representatives and firmly rejecting any talks.

Barcelona eye Isak as Liverpool face transfer resistance from Newcastle Barcelona are monitoring Newcastle striker Alexander Isak as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, potentially challenging Liverpool’s pursuit of the Swedish forward. Isak has accused Newcastle of breaking promises over his transfer request, claiming talks about leaving began months ago. Newcastle insist they won’t sell this summer and have set a £150m price tag, rejecting Liverpool’s £110m offer. While Isak prefers a move to Liverpool to compete for top honours, Newcastle are reportedly unwilling to sell to a Premier League rival — a stance that could open the door for Barca to act, likely in 2026.
