Bayern Munich could advance to sign Marcus Rashford after Luiz Diaz snub | OneFootball

Bayern Munich could now advance in their attempt to sign Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford after their bid for Luis Díaz was firmly rebuffed by Liverpool.

According to The Times ,the Bundesliga champions contacted Liverpool regarding Díaz as they look to reinforce their options on the left wing, but were swiftly turned away with no room for negotiation.

Max Eberl, Bayern’s sporting director, is said to have initiated the approach, which was met with immediate resistance. The Merseyside club reportedly made it clear they had no interest in parting with the Colombian.

Díaz has two years remaining on his current contract. While the club have not yet offered him new terms, they appear resolute in their desire to keep him for the coming campaign.

With the door firmly shut on Díaz, attention in Bavaria may now shift toward Rashford, who is understood to be admired by Bayern’s recruitment staff.

Sky Sports, this morning linked the Man United forward with a potential move to the Allianz Arena. However, United have yet to receive a formal offer.

The England international endured a mixed 2024/25 season but remains a player of high pedigree and is known to be valued accross the footballing world.

Rashford went on loan to Aston Villa in the second-half of the season.

He scored two goals and provided two assists in ten games under Unai Emery. Villa opted against makig the signing permanent.

Previous reports have claimed that Ruben Amorim does not see Rashford as part of his plans and would prefer a sale to fund moves for signings.

With Rashford said to have prioritised a move overseas, Bayern could be an ideal destination for the 27 year old.

It remains to be seen how United approach this deal and how much they are willing to let him go for.
