Liverpool are keen to use the funds raised through Díaz’s sale to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, but an opening bid worth over £110 million ($145.4 million) was swiftly rejected by the Magpies on Friday and it remains to be seen whether they will table a second offer.

Another chapter in Liverpool's changing story came to an emotional end this week as Luis Diaz officially sealed a move to Bayern Munich. The Colombian forward left Anfield for a reported £65.5 million, closing a successful spell that saw him lift a Premier League title and light up the wing alongside Mohamed Salah.

Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has thanked Liverpool for the way they conducted themselves during the negotiations that resulted in Luis Diaz moving to the Allianz Arena. The Colombia international brought his three-and-a-half-year stay at Anfield to an end when he joined the German giants earlier this week.
