A recent report suggests that Bayern Munich were close to acquiring another Liverpool star after Luis Diaz.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich<\/a> reportedly nearly signed another player from Liverpool<\/a> after acquiring Luis Diaz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The German giants signed the\u00a0Colombia\u00a0international <\/a>for \u00a365.5m during the summer transfer window, after three and a half years with the Merseyside club.<\/p>\n

Bayern then brought in Nicolas Jackson<\/a> on loan from Chelsea with an obligation under certain conditions<\/a>, and the Senegalese player\u00a0is expected\u00a0to cover for Harry Kane<\/a> and possibly operate out wide for Vincent\u00a0Kompany\u2019s\u00a0team.<\/p>\n

However, it has now\u00a0been reported\u00a0that the Bavarians had another Liverpool forward on their shortlist of targets for the concluded window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bayern\u00a0\u2018considered\u2019\u00a0Liverpool\u2019s\u00a018-goal\u00a0forward<\/p>\n

\"Liverpool's<\/p>\n

According to Sky Sports News<\/a>, the Bundesliga club considered signing Dutchman Cody Gakpo<\/a> in the summer.<\/p>\n

The former PSV Eindhoven star scored 10 Premier League goals for Arne\u00a0Slot\u2019s\u00a0team en route to the 2024-25 title, with a further eight strikes bringing his total to 18 in all competitions.<\/p>\n

The report states that\u00a0Bayern’s\u00a0extensive list of targets included Gakpo, although the forward has since extended his Liverpool contract, potentially keeping him at Anfield until 2030.<\/p>\n

“It’s\u00a0nice. Of course, I have experienced it differently myself,\u201d\u00a0Gakpo said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch a transfer window can be hectic and stressful for a player and everyone around him. That\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0bother me anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Das Transferfenster ist geschlossen und die Bayern haben mit Luis Diaz und Nicolas Jackson Verst\u00e4rkung in der Offensive gefunden. Die Liste war jedoch lang, auch Cody Gakpo galt nach Sky Sport Infos als Transferkandidat. ?<\/p>\n

Will\u00a0Isak\u00a0signing affect\u00a0Gakpo\u2019s\u00a0game time at Liverpool?<\/p>\n

\"Liverpool<\/p>\n

Liverpool smashing the British transfer record<\/a> for Alexander Isak<\/a> in a deal worth around \u00a3125m adds a new dimension to the\u00a0Reds’\u00a0attack.<\/p>\n

However, the earlier high-profile signing of Hugo Ekitike<\/a> from Eintracht Frankfurt for a deal worth up to \u20ac95 million (\u00a382.4m)<\/a>\u00a0could\u00a0affect\u00a0Gakpo’s\u00a0playing time.<\/p>\n

With Ekitike likely to feature more on the left side of\u00a0Liverpool’s\u00a0attack to accommodate the\u00a0Reds’\u00a0new number nine,\u00a0Gakpo’s\u00a0minutes might be affected.<\/p>\n

Having played from the start in all three Premier League matches against Bournemouth, Newcastle United and Arsenal, it will be interesting to see how Slot manages his squad after the September international break.<\/p>\n
