Bayern Munich rebuff Al‑Hilal, vow to keep Luis Diaz

Bayern Munich have confirmed that they have absolutely no intention of selling Colombian winger Luis Diaz, despite a recent €70 million bid from Saudi side Al‑Hilal, underscoring the German champions’ commitment to the 29‑year‑old after his 26‑goal, 23‑assist debut season.

’s report confirms what many had already assumed: Bayern Munich have absolutely no intention of selling the Colombian winger. The German record champions reiterated their stance in a statement to the media.

Diaz arrived from Liverpool last summer for a €75 million fee and delivered an outstanding debut season in Bavaria. He contributed 26 goals and 23 assists across 51 appearances in all competitions.

Saudi Arabian side Al‑Hilal recently tabled a €70 million offer for the 29‑year‑old, testing Bayern’s resolve. The Bundesliga champions deemed the proposal insufficient to tempt a move.

Selling Diaz for less than the original investment would make little sporting or financial sense, especially as no clear replacement is identified. The club’s assessment emphasizes the value of retaining the player.

Arijon Ibrahimovic, the 20‑year‑old prospect, is earmarked as a potential long‑term successor, though he is not yet ready for a prominent role. Bayern therefore see Ibrahimovic as a future option rather than an immediate replacement.

Bayern have indicated they will reject any approach unless Diaz himself unexpectedly pushes for a departure. The club’s policy reflects a commitment to keep the winger as a central component of their sporting plans.
