Bayern Munich are eyeing a move to sign Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo in the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg.
After winning the Premier League, we could see Liverpool acting fast ahead of the summer, with the Merseyside club now an incredibly attractive prospect for new signings. Although they flourished in England's top flight, Arne Slot's side were disappointing in all other competitions.
Liverpool are pushing to sign Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, and a move could be completed in the coming days. Bayern Munich were also keen on the German international, but Wirtz has reportedly snubbed a move to the Bundesliga champions.

According to Sky Sports journalist Plettenberg, Bayern Munich are now eyeing a move to sign Liverpool forward Gakpo ahead of the summer transfer window. It's claimed that Gakpo is considered a possible departure if a suitable offer arrives, with his contract expiring in two years time.

With Wirtz arriving, Liverpool could look to move one of their attackers on in the summer to help fund a transfer. Although Wirtz wouldn't be direct competition for Gakpo, considering he predominantly plays as a number 10, the German international is capable of playing out wide and could provide cover in a host of positions.
Gakpo, described as 'crucial' to Liverpool by Sky Sports, has played a fair number of games under Slot this season, but he's failed to nail down a guaranteed starting spot. The Dutch international has been utilised all across the front line during his time at Anfield, and it will be interesting to see whether he'd be keen on a move to Bayern.
It's set to be a busy summer for the Reds as they look to build on a sensational campaign. With the transfer window fast approaching, Liverpool are clearly looking to do their business early, bringing in players in time for pre-season.
