The reigning Bundesliga champions have endured a summer of spurned advances and failed bids. Nico Williams signed a new contract with Athletic Club, VfB Stuttgart have held firm on their valuation of Nick Woltemade and Liverpool beat Bayern to the record-breaking acquisition of Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool are in advanced talks with Bayern Munich over a deal for Luis Diaz. After Liverpool rejected Bayern’s initial advances and offer, the German champions have returned with a second offer believed to be around £69 million (€80 million.)

Bayern Munich are planning an improved offer for Liverpool forward Luis Diaz. The Bundesliga side had an initial £58.6m bid for the Colombia international turned down by the Premier League champions earlier this month.
