Luis Díaz declines Al Hilal’s lucrative offer, remains at Bayern Munich
Colombian forward Luis Díaz has reportedly turned down a salary offer of €25 million per year from Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal and chose to stay with German side Bayern Munich. The rejection was confirmed by Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, who said Díaz informed Al Hilal he will honour his contract with Bayern.
Al Hilal is said to be preparing a transfer bid in the €70‑125 million range, with reports of a €70 million offer and even talks of a €125‑150 million package that would include a high‑paying personal contract. Bayern Munich, whose CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen publicly denied any departure, consider Díaz a key element of head coach Vincent Kompany’s project and have no intention of negotiating a sale. Díaz arrived at Bayern in a €75 million deal from Liverpool and in his first season posted 26 goals and 23 assists, establishing himself as a leading offensive reference alongside Harry Kane and Michael Olise.
With the 2026‑27 season approaching, Díaz is expected to continue as a core starter for Bayern while Al Hilal explores whether a substantially higher offer could change the German club’s stance.
