The winger's future has been under scrutiny in all summer, and Liverpool's stance has always been that the player is not for sale. That appears to have changed.

Bayern have also identified Lyon winger Malick Fofana as an alternative and made an enquiry to learn the terms of his deal in case they fail to secure the Liverpool star's signing, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Bayern Munich have resumed talks with Liverpool over a deal for forward Luis Diaz. The Bavarian club are yet to submit a second bid for the Colombian winger but remain keen on a deal, and are now in regular dialogue with Liverpool.
