Luis Díaz has stated his intention to leave the Premier League, and Liverpool are willing to let him go. However, the major challenge facing this transfer is the high asking price set by Liverpool.
The current transfer situation is quite tense. According to information from Díaz himself and his team, he hopes to leave Liverpool for the new season, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona as his preferred destinations. Nevertheless, Barcelona cannot meet Liverpool's proposed transfer fee at this stage. The club is still constrained by Financial Fair Play regulations and is unwilling to spend such a large sum to sign the Colombian international.
Previously, Bayern made an offer of around £60 million, but Liverpool are hoping for more funds. Reports suggest that Liverpool's current asking price is as high as €100 million. Clearly, unless something unexpected happens, Bayern will also struggle to afford such a hefty transfer fee.
In fact, among numerous clubs, only Al-Nassr of the Saudi Pro League has explicitly stated its willingness to pay the €100 million asking price demanded by Liverpool. The club has been striving to persuade Luis Díaz to join, but multiple attempts have failed because the player prioritizes staying in European football.
On the Saudi side, Al-Nassr is currently the only club capable of paying the €100 million transfer fee required by Liverpool, which has already resolved the first hurdle in the transfer process. The remaining key issue now lies with Díaz's own willingness. From the perspective of the upcoming World Cup, since several Colombian internationals already play in the Arabian league, this could also be a viable option for Díaz to consider.
