Bayern Munich seeks winger alternatives as Diaz skips international duty
Summary

Bayern Munich winger Luis Diaz has opted out of Colombia's upcoming fixtures during the international break for rest. This decision comes as Bayern experiences a shortage of left flank options and has struggled to find a suitable alternative in the transfer market. The club explored signing French winger Bradley Barcola but deemed the fee too high, with Liverpool ultimately securing Barcola for up to £123 million. Bayern may reconsider their search for reinforcements in the winger position, depending on Diaz's performance throughout the season.
