Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich: Deal Agreed
Luis Diaz is set to leave Anfield as Bayern Munich have agreed a £65 million fee with Liverpool. The Colombian winger will undergo a medical next week and is expected to sign a four-year deal with the German champions.
This move comes amid Bayern’s ambition to rejuvenate their attack following the departure of Serge Gnabry and concerns over Leroy Sané's contract extension.

Tottenham Transfer Twist: Gibbs-White Stays, Palhinha Targeted
In a surprise turn of events, Morgan Gibbs-White has signed a contract extension with Nottingham Forest, ending Tottenham’s hopes of securing his signature.
Spurs have now shifted focus to:
- Joao Palhinha – The Fulham midfielder is seen as a perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system.
- Striker options being considered include Benjamin Sesko, Nicolas Jackson, and Ollie Watkins.
Expect a flurry of activity from Spurs in the final weeks of the window.
Newcastle and Liverpool Battle for Alexander Isak
With Luis Diaz’s departure set to bring in major funds, Liverpool are reportedly preparing a substantial bid for Alexander Isak.
The Swedish forward has informed Newcastle of his desire to leave, making him one of the most sought-after strikers on the market. However, Newcastle are reluctant to sell unless an offer exceeds £80 million.
This could be one of the defining sagas of the summer.
