Liverpool and Luis Diaz are at loggerheads, with the winger making it clear he wants to leave the club and the Reds firm on keeping him.
The Colombian has been the subject of interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich this summer after lifting the Premier League title with Liverpool last season.
The English club rebuffed an approach from Barca earlier in the summer and have now turned down a bid from Bayern.
The Athletic report that the German giants have made an offer of €67.5million (£58.6m) for Diaz but the Reds immediately turned it down.
The report states the Liverpool have no intention of selling Diaz during this transfer window and have placed a value of €100m (£86.8m) on him, which is likely to scare off any suitors.

This is despite the 28-year-old reportedly making it clear that he wants to leave Anfield.
The former Porto star has two years to run on his contract with Liverpool and although a new deal does not appear to be imminent, the Reds see him as an important part of Arne Slot’s squad.
Diaz has changed his tune from last month, when he sounded open to a departure but also perfectly content at Liverpool and interested in renewing his contract.
Speaking at a press conference with Colombia’s national side in June, Diaz was asked about Barcelona’s push to sign him this summer.
‘I’m very happy there at Liverpool, I’ve always said so,’ Diaz replied. ‘They’ve welcomed me very well.

‘We’re in contact with them [Liverpool] right now because we’re obviously talking to clubs. It’s normal. The transfer market is opening, and we’re trying to arrange what’s best for us.’
When asked about renewing his contract with Liverpool, Diaz replied: ‘As I told you, I’m waiting for it to happen.
‘If Liverpool gives us a good renewal or I get the two years I need with them, I’ll be happy and content.
‘It all depends on them, I’m just here to decide and look at what’s best for us.’
Bayern Munich have been eyeing up other targets if they miss out on Diaz, with Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard on their shopping list.
Reports suggest that Arsenal are willing to accept around £20m for the Belgian, making him available at a fraction of the price of the Liverpool star.
However, the most recent reports from Sky Germany suggest the Belgium international is not keen on the switch to Bavaria.
