Bayern add Luis Diaz and Gabriel Martinelli to winger shortlist

It’s no secret that Bayern Munich are looking to sign a winger this summer, with the Bundesliga giants already linked to a host of high-profile names.

According to Bild, two new names have now been added to their growing shortlist - the first being Liverpool’s Luis Díaz.

Díaz has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, and reports suggested he had more or less agreed personal terms with the Spanish giants. 

However, that deal now appears unlikely, as Madrid no longer plan to sell Rodrygo - a decision that could open the door for Bayern.

Valued at €70 million by Transfermarkt, Díaz scored 17 goals and provided eight assists across all competitions last season. The Colombian star is under contract at Anfield until 2027.

Also on Bayern’s radar, according to the German tabloid, is Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli.

The 24-year-old Brazilian, valued at €55 million by Transfermarkt, registered 10 goals and six assists in 51 appearances for the Gunners during the 2024/25 season. 

Like Díaz, he is under contract until 2027, but his deal includes an option for an additional year.

Bayern’s top target, Nico Williams, has reportedly agreed to join Barcelona, but with the deal not yet finalized, the Bundesliga giants haven’t entirely given up hope of securing his signature.

PSG’s Bradley Barcola, Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, AC Milan’s Rafael Leão, and Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens have also been mentioned as potential targets.
