Cody Gakpo, the Liverpool star who has impressed since his arrival from PSV, is facing speculation regarding his future as Bayern Munich expresses interest following their failed bid for Florian Wirtz. Liverpool is reinforcing their squad with new signings while potentially letting players go. Gakpo has made a positive impact at Anfield, but changes in the team dynamics may affect his role. Despite interest from Bayern, it's noted that Gakpo prefers to stay at Liverpool and is awaiting the club's response to solidify his position and possibly negotiate a contract extension.
Gakpo has been a hit since arriving on Merseyside from PSV in 2023, scoring 41 goals across three seasons and complementing the likes of Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah in attack.
German publication SportBILD says via Sport Witness that Gakpo's agents are speaking to Bayern Munich, with the forward a possibility to sign after the Bavarians missed out on Wirtz.
The comments relayed suggest that Gakpo is happy remaining at Liverpool and that as much as the 26-year-old is flattered by interest from the Bundesliga champions, he is looking for a reaction from the Reds.
FourFourTwo understands that Slot would rather keep Gakpo, who was ranked at no.29 in FourFourTwo's list of the best Premier League players of the season, meaning that these new talks could in fact lead to a new contract and improved wage.
