FC Bayern Munich is already working on the squad of the future.

Apparently a very expensive Colombian also plays a role - at least one insider says.

Munich - FC Bayern is likely to face a little upheaval again in the coming years.

Top stars like Manuel Neuer (35), Robert Lewandowski (33) or Thomas Müller (32) will no longer be able to play forever, so new stars will soon be needed in Munich's football sky.

Some of them are already in the squad anyway.

It is a foregone conclusion that Jamal Musiala will one day follow in Müller's footsteps, and on the defensive, Tanguy Nianzou has long been committed to a player who one day believes the insider will be world class.

So something is growing again on Säbener Straße.

And yet, of course, you are also looking for external reinforcements.

FC Bayern Munich: Transfer News - Colombians on Salihamidzic's note?

According to reports, Bayern want to be active, especially on the offensive.

Why?

Because at Kingsley Coman there are increasing signs that he might be leaving the club soon.

The tempo dribbler has not yet extended his contract, which will expire in summer 2023.

Apparently, the negotiating parties have too different ideas about salary.

According to the current status, a change in the coming summer is therefore likely.

One thing is clear: if Coman leaves, a top-class replacement will be needed.

Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry are world class on good days, but of course they can't play all games in one season.

In addition, they both struggle with injuries over and over again - this is not even surprising given their speed game.

So who could replace Coman if the Frenchman were to leave Munich?

A transfer insider now brings a name into play that has been traded one time or another in the past: Luis Diaz.

Bayern Munich: transfer of Luis Diaz?

Porto star is in great demand

Nicolo Schira claims on his Twitter channel that many European clubs are currently keeping an eye on the Colombian from FC Porto.

The 24-year-old is in great shape, especially in the current season: The left winger has seven goals and one assist in twelve games (Portuguese league and Champions League).

Luis Diaz

Born: January 13, 1997 (age 24) in Barrancas, Colombia

FC Porto

Left mid-field

Market value: 25 million euros

Contract until June 30, 2024

A value that attracts so many interested parties.

According to transfer guru Schira, Newcastle, Chelsea, Real Madrid and FC Bayern are interested in Diaz.

All four clubs allegedly asked FC Porto about the dangerous attacking man.

Anyone who wants Diaz would have to dig deep into their pockets: According to Schira, there is an exit clause of 80 million euros.

That would probably not be a problem for the nouveau riche Newcastle, after all you now have a billionaire sheikh in the background who could buy the Magpies really expensive legs with his money.

But will Bayern jump on this bandwagon?

Luis Diaz: FC Porto shooting star calls top clubs on the scene

Hardly likely. Coman currently has a market value of 55 million euros, a transfer fee in this price category appears likely for the coming summer in the event of a possible change. The Bavarians have always been extremely healthy, the Corona situation has made the bosses around sports director Hasan Salihamidzic even more aware. It is therefore hard to imagine that they would dig so deep into their pockets for Diaz.

Regardless of where the Colombian is ultimately drawn: At Porto, one is already used to prominent and expensive departures.

Every year you give up players for several millions.

Coach Sergio Conceicao recently said of Diaz: "Rumors and news about things that may or may not happen don't give me a headache."

But it should also be clear to him: One of his best players will soon be active elsewhere.

The only question then is: when and for whom?

Even if transfer expert Schira is right and Bayern should watch Diaz: they will hardly sign him for 80 million euros according to the current situation.
