Al-Hilal has initiated a move for Bayern Munich's Luis Diaz, submitting an opening bid of €70 million. The Saudi Arabian club has reportedly earmarked a significant budget to secure the player's services, according to reports from L'Équipe.
For Bayern Munich, the potential sale of Diaz presents a complex financial dilemma. While the funds from a transfer would help offset the club's current deficit, the Bavarians would be left without sufficient capital to immediately procure an adequate replacement. This situation persists despite the fact that the transfer window is scheduled to remain open for another five weeks.
Internally, Bayern Munich has identified Arijon Ibrahimović as a potential long-term successor for Diaz. The 20-year-old recently returned to the club following a loan spell with relegated side Heidenheim. However, the organization acknowledges that Ibrahimović likely requires at least another year of development—which could include an additional loan stint—before he is fully prepared to take over the role currently held by Diaz.
