Bayern Munich scout 'leaks' club transfer plans on WhatsApp as list of players revealed

A Bayern Munich scout reportedly leaked the club's transfer plans after a WhatsApp message was made public.

After winning the Bundesliga title during the 24/25 season, Bayern have been busy in the transfer market as they look to fine-tune Vincent Kompany's squad.

So far, the Bavarians have brought in Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof but missed out on Florian Wirtz, who opted to join Premier League champions Liverpool.

Meanwhile, the likes of Mathys Tel, Eric Dier and Leroy Sane have all departed.

In recent weeks, Bayern have been linked with a move for Liverpool star Luis Diaz, who is reportedly keen to leave Anfield.

With the summer transfer window in full swing, the scouting department will be working around the clock to identify the right players for the club.

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."
