I’m not sure if that is a joke or not. We had a report that was sent out to a German nursing home by fax. Their fax machine broke a few months ago and they asked if it was at all possible to send it by email. I pressed a button and the email arrived 5 seconds later. I spent the next half hour banging my head against the wall in fustration.

Thats a decent bid. Guess we will take this offer or utmost negotiate it to say 85 million Euros.Nice deal for all parties.
€70m is £61m.
Given LFC value him at €100m (£87m) I suspect that bid will be knocked back.

Considering Diaz is 28, his desire to leave, his contribution to the club and the fact that he is coming off his best year with us… I don’t think an €70M + €10M offer (provided the add-ons are realistic) is a bad offer at all and represents good value.
Diaz is a good player but hardly irreplaceable. It is too late to talk about “too much change” after bringing in so many potential starters.

Better for us if they take him in January…

EXCL | FC Bayern have submitted their new offer to Liverpool for Luis #Diaz worth more than €67.5 million.
Talks between the clubs are ongoing. As reported, Díaz wants to join Bayern and is waiting for an agreement between the clubs.

28 is his prime and as you point out he’s coming off of his best season with us. We could well have paid £50m for him originally if he hit his add ons, we took the risk on him being able to step up from a non-top tier league and we’ve made him a better player.
Unless he starts pulling an Isak type move, £60-£68m is a kind of underwhelming if anything. He’s comfortably better than Madeuke and Chelsea got pretty much £50m guaranteed for him. That should be our benchmark.

80M GBP ((Inclusive add’ons). Add a sell on clause to that as well.

Fax is still common in healthcare because the default settings make it less likely something goes wrong related to privacy regulations when sending or receiving protected health records. There are ways obviously to stay complaint with email, but systems are based on risk mitigation not on hoping that everyone in the system goes through the 12 required steps to send a record via email that isnt in violation.
And yes, I hate myself for aktuwalying that

Isn’t that about the 67m Euros Florian mentions.
Have they lifted the offer by about 1m euros? Has to be at least 70m pounds in my view.
The offer still seems low. Given the prices of multiple other players we can point to for some sort of comp, I would have thought 80M euros is the Bayern/European number, and 100M the Saudi number.
If Bayern do 70M euros with another 10 of realistic add-ons, I would draw a line under it and do the deal, not least so we have clarity moving into the new season. Slot clearly has plans to invest more money into the side and this will help.
But there’s a sense in which Bayern Munich are in danger of aggravating us, and if they don’t make an adequate bid soon, we can, and should, waft along and do our thing, and not really engage with them.

Oh, poor Bayern, cry me a river. They are probably not used to not getting their transfer targets because the rest of the league bends over for them when selling them their best players.
