Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Christian Faulk now reports that Bayern Munich is increasingly confident that he will sign Liverpool&#8217;s Louis Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>But as the head of football at Bild Group correctly pointed out, the Bayerns were similarly convinced they would beat the Merseysiders to Florian Wirtz&#8217;s signature.<\/p>\n<p>This sudden twist in transfer story may still be on the cards. In that case, Max Eval and Bayern&#8217;s recruitment teams may need to focus elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>One name that ensures they appease the club&#8217;s fanbase is the name of the creepy Real Madrid winger Rodrigo.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 ()\"><strong>&#8220;Max Ebal is under pressure to run on the transfer window. The bosses have since come together to discuss whether the window is good for FC Bayern.&#8221; <\/strong>Bayern insiders have only notified CatedOffside.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 ()\"><strong>&#8220;So, while Bayern is really sure they&#8217;ll sign up for Lewis Diaz, they were also really sure they&#8217;d get Florian Wiltz. So another disappointment on this scale for the top target is the earthquake, which will really put Ebel&#8217;s pressure on. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 ()\"><strong>&#8220;If they don&#8217;t sign Diaz, they&#8217;ll need a really big name to bring the media and supporters back to the side and praise the efforts in the window. At that point, a name like Rodrigo would be useful. But at this point, he&#8217;s not yet the target of Bayern Munich&#8217;s list.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 ()\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liverpool_and_the_Premier_League_transfer_path_will_be_cleared\"><\/span>Liverpool and the Premier League transfer path will be cleared<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the meantime, and assuming everything goes to plan in FC Bayern&#8217;s Diaz pursuit, Rodrigo is facing an uncertain future.<\/p>\n<p>On all accounts, the Brazilian wants to stay in the Spanish capital and make the most of his long-term contract (expired in 2028).<\/p>\n<p>It is also worth taking into account the still fresh reality that Xabi Alonso has arrived at the club. Of course, he couldn&#8217;t escape the player&#8217;s notification (Liverpool) that he was underutilized in the FIFA Club&#8217;s World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>It may be early on, but Alonso has yet to show his willingness to play forward in his preferred left field position.<\/p>\n<p>All of this suggests that it is more and more likely that Rodrigo is seeking new meadows. Perhaps if Louis Diaz, along with Liverpool, exited this summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christian Folk Fact File &#8211; \u0161e\u0161ko Door Opens for Manchester United<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bayern Munich is currently unlikely to be Rodrigo&#8217;s concrete suitor this summer.
