Premier League champions Liverpool are also very interested in him,\u201d\u00a0Falk exclusively informed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cfbayerninsider.com\/2025\/12\/the-bayern-insider-real-madrid-said-no-to-bayern-gem-whos-now-tearing-up-champions-league\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CF Bayern Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo perhaps we might get an exciting poker game between Arne Slot\u2019s side and Bayern Munich. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, Borussia Dortmund is said to be interested in this player. So this will be an intriguing transfer topic for us next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bayern\u2019s rationale for wanting Dj\u00fa is especially clear \u2013 Nicolas Jackson has been something resembling a disappointment in Munich. On top of that, Vincent Kompany\u2019s men ultimately need a young talent prepared to fight for minutes in the long-term, whilst Harry Kane remains a reliable figure in the first-XI.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>How much would Dj\u00fa cost?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s expected that Franculino Dj\u00fa will set back an interested party in the region of \u00a321.8m-\u00a326.2m, according to Christian Falk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBayern Munich are taking a closer look at Franculino Dj\u00fa,\u201d\u00a0the Bayern Insider said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast summer, they really tried to get him, but they were only allowed to make loan signings. FC Midtjylland said no this, and made it clear that if they were to lose the striker they only wanted to sell him. So, there was no deal! <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis coming summer, Bayern Munich could make this deal happen, as he\u2019s not so expensive \u2013 we would think \u20ac25m-\u20ac30m perhaps. He\u2019s 21 years of age, so he\u2019s very much one for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why would Liverpool be interested in Dj\u00fa?<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4057\" height=\"2705\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Franculino-Dju-Alexander-Isak-Hugo-Ekitike-Liverpool-Premier-League.jpg\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-282127 has-webp\" alt=\"Alexander Isak high fives Hugo Ekitike on the touchline.\"  data- style=\"aspect-ratio:4057\/2705;max-width:2048px\"\/>(Photo by Justin Setterfield\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool, on the other hand, appear to be inching towards accepting a system that utilises both Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak in a potential two-man forward line.<\/p>\n<p>On that basis, Arne Slot\u2019s men\u00a0desperately\u00a0need central forward reinforcements.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we\u2019d be surprised if the Merseysiders were to make a serious move for Dj\u00fa in the coming winter window.<\/p>\n<p>The club\u2019s greatest need arguably lies further back in the defence, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.empireofthekop.com\/2025\/12\/16\/thompson-caution-gomez-injury-recovery\/?_gl=1*16f3o4g*_up*MQ..*_ga*OTcwODg1MjA4LjE3NjYxODA4NjI.*_ga_B4KMW8GEZY*czE3NjYxODA4NjEkbzEkZzAkdDE3NjYxODA5NDMkajYwJGwwJGgw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool teetering on the edge of a centre-back crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So we can safely assume this is a story the club will potentially revisit in the summer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029Vao4GCVBadmjAhMKTS1r\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Join our channel of readers on WhatsApp<\/a>\u00a0to get the day\u2019s top stories straight to your mobile<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christian Falk has confirmed Liverpool and Bayern Munich are \u2018very interested\u2019 in Franculino Dj\u00fa.
