Usually, the content of a WhatsApp status is visible to all contacts for 24 hours.
The status reportedly read: "Please prioritize these 2011-born players in your scouting according to your region for the upcoming season. We need initial impressions by 15.09. Thanks!"
According to tz, the list included players like Lukas Dillschneider from Saarbrucken, Kemi Seudi from VfB Stuttgart, Sam Haritz and Lino Nikisch from Schalke, Nikita Drozd, Edgar Idada and Dennis Yakavenka from Nurnberg, and Denton Snoh from Mainz.
Delivering an update on Bayern's bid to sign Diaz from Liverpool, Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg wrote on social media: "FC Bayern are continuing to push to sign Luis #Díaz. Negotiations and talks with Liverpool and the player’s camp are ongoing #LFC.
"As revealed, Díaz can sign a Bayern contract running at least until 2029. The deal is still possible."
Bayern are back in action when they take on French side Lyon on August 2.
