transfer window, to ask about the conditions of the deal. <\/p>\n<p>The German outfit had a bid rejected for Diaz of around \u00a358.5m, with the Reds holding out for around \u00a370m, a fee that seems too steep for Bayern.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, they will try again and Liverpool could always slightly reduce their asking price if Diaz is very desperate to go, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rousingthekop.com\/tag\/arne-slot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arne Slot<\/a> could miss out on a potential target if they choose to remain firm with their stance. <\/p>\n<p>Liverpool should sell Luis Diaz<\/p>\n<p>There is no denying that Diaz is a fantastic footballer and has just come off the back of one of his best seasons to date,  but if he is open to leaving, then surely the club should just sell him.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, at 28, he is entering his prime, but with the amount of money being offered for his services, the Reds would be silly to turn it down.<\/p>\n<p>They have also lined up some potential replacements already, <a

of Real Madrid\u2019s Rodrygo a top target<\/a>, with the Brazilian also a player who could take Liverpool on to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>He is four years Diaz\u2019s junior too, making him a smart option for the Reds\u2019 long-term project, while also having the quality to take the Premier League by storm.<\/p>\n<p>Time will have to tell as a lot is riding on Bayern\u2019s next bid for the Colombian, but an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rousingthekop.com\/club\/anfield-stadium-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anfield<\/a> exit could very much be on the
