Bayern chases Dias again, Naples gives up Nunez, Liverpool seeks a striker to target new target

Liverpool's forward restructuring plan this summer is facing a critical node. Bayern Munich plans to submit an improved offer for Louis Dias after its first offer was rejected, while Liverpool priced it up to 100 million euros. At the same time, Naples has officially given up introducing Darwin Nunes, but the Uruguayan striker still has the possibility of leaving the team. The Reds have contacted Newcastle's Isaac in terms of signings and may turn to other targets.

According to the authoritative media The Times, Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich has not given up introducing Liverpool winger Louis Dias. Bayern is planning to make a new improvement offer after its first €67.5 million offer was rejected by the Reds. Previously, Bayern's psychological cap on fixed transfer fees was about 60 million euros, and the first offer exceeded this amount.

Dias, 28, has two years left in his contract with Liverpool, and is in the golden period of his career. It is reported that he has expressed his willingness to evaluate all options on several occasions. Liverpool has set a asking price threshold of up to 100 million euros for Dias' departure. It is unclear whether the high price is a negotiation strategy or is intended to scare off potential buyers.

The Times said that Bayern is "convinced" that Diaz is willing to join if he can reach a transfer agreement with Liverpool, but the two sides have not reached any oral agreement yet. Florian Pretenberg, a well-known reporter from Germany's Sky Sports, further revealed that Bayern is willing to provide Dias with a long contract of at least four years, and the communication signals between the player team and Bayern executive Max Ebert. Personal terms are not expected to be a barrier.

In another forward player transfer, Serie A champion Napoli has made the final decision. According to well-known transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Naples has notified Liverpool that they will not promote the deal to introduce Darwin Nunes, believing that Liverpool’s asking price is too high. Napoli will instead sign Udinese striker Lorenzo Luca. However, Nunes may still leave Anfield this summer, and Saudi Arabian Professional League clubs have expressed interest.

Although Liverpool has set a record for club recruitment spending in the summer transfer window, the search for a new striker continues. It was reported on Tuesday that Liverpool had contacted Newcastle United to ask about the possibility of introducing Swedish striker Alexander Isak. Although the Reds did not submit a formal offer, they expressed their willingness to pay the forward a transfer fee of about £120 million.

Newcastle United responded quickly and made it clear that Isaac is not a product. This situation may prompt Liverpool to turn its attention to other targets. It is reported that the Reds may join the competition with Newcastle United for French striker Hugo Ekitic, who is now playing for Frankfurt.
