Bayern Munich keen on Liverpool duo with a combined total of 35 goals last season.
Bayern Monitoring Liverpool Pair
For months, Luis Diaz has topped the headlines, with articles emerging with links to a massive transfer fee to Barcelona. The club essentially confirmed interest when Deco (sporting director) stated yesterday “We have had contact”.
Barca are now focused on signing young winger Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao. Diaz has long dreamed of wearing the Blaugrana shirt. That is something even his father confirmed publicly. However, with talks now on hold, Bayern Munich have entered the picture.
Sources close to the situation say the Bundesliga giants are keeping a close watch on the winger’s future. New Bayern coach Vincent Kompany wants quick and creative forwards. So, Diaz fits the bill. Still, Liverpool’s asking price could pose a challenge for the German side. Despite interest from Saudi clubs, no deal has come close to **the Reds**‘ demands yet.
Cody Gakpo Also On Munich’s Radar
Bayern are also reportedly eyeing another Reds’ forward Cody Gakpo. The Dutchman had a strong season, scoring 18 goals across all competitions. Gakpo is seen as a great option for Kompany’s rebuilt attacking line for UCL success for the upcoming seasons.
That said, Liverpool may not want to lose him. New manager Arne Slot will want to keep key players like Gakpo. Meanwhile, there’s possibility of selling players like Diogo Jota or Darwin Nunez. Gakpo has settled in at Anfield quickly and losing him could throw the team out of sync.
On the other hand, Bayern are eager to reshape their frontline with proven scorers. They may try their luck with formal bids soon.
For now, both Diaz and Gakpo remain under contract. But, the coming weeks could see big moves if the right offers are made.
