Bayern Munich tests Liverpool with surprise €90m offer for star player

Bayern Munich wants Liverpool star Cody Gakpo to bolster its attacking department during the upcoming summer transfer window. The Dutch international has played a pivotal role for the Reds this season, consistently contributing as the first-choice left-winger.

The 25-year-old maintained an incredible level of consistency since last year’s March international break after facing a few criticisms. Last season, Gakpo struggled to produce a high level of performance as former legendary manager Jurgen Klopp utilized him in several positions.

However, Klopp shifted the Dutchman to his favourable left-wing position where he also played for the Netherlands in EURO 2024. The new Reds boss Arne Slot has played Gakpo in the same position where he has produced a remarkable consistency.

According to Fichajes, Bayern want Gakpo from Liverpool during the summer transfer window to bolster their attacking department. The potential transfer move would surprise the Reds fanbase as both the club and the fans rate Gakpo highly.

The German giant are ready to offer around €90 million for the 25-year-old, showcasing their seriousness in making the deal. However, Liverpool could out-price the Dutch international as he is very crucial to the team despite recent injury concerns.

Gakpo’s performances forced Slot to play his competition, Luis Diaz, as the false-nine during the middle part of the season. The Dutch international has 16 goals and six assists from 40 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions this season.

As Gakpo has just entered the peak year of his career, the 25-year-old has a crucial role to play. Despite the potential Premier League success this season, Liverpool will seriously challenge for all the trophies from the start of next season under Slot.
