Liverpool's unconvincing star is coveted by Bayern Munich!

As a response to the Florian Wertz deal that Liverpool managed to land ahead of Bayern Munich, all press reports, including reports from transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, have confirmed that Wertz is close to finalizing his move to Liverpool.

In response to this, Bayern Munich wants to sign one of Liverpool's strikers as soon as possible in response to Liverpool's completion of the Florian Wertz deal.

Bayern Munich and the search for new strikers

Bayern Munich will have to look for suitable strikers this summer to work with in Belgian Vincent Kompany's Bundesliga champions' squad as Thomas Muller has left the team and it seems that other players will also leave the team.

Bayern Munich are in a state of instability with Leroy Sane and Kinsley Coman, and it looks like both players will leave the team in the summer in search of a new experience.

Bayern Munich interested in signing Cody Gakpo

In a transfer twist few saw coming, Bayern Munich have set their sights on Liverpool's Dutch dynamo Cody Gakpo - with both player and club reportedly open to a summer switch. Sources close to the German giants reveal the 25-year-old has rocketed to the top of their wishlist after their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz collapsed spectacularly.

The potential deal carries intriguing symmetry: while Wirtz appears Anfield-bound, Gakpo could make the reverse journey to Bavaria. Liverpool's new head coach Arne Slot, still evaluating his attacking options, is said to be willing to sanction the move for the right price - a stance confirmed by former Reds scout Mick Brown.

"Gakpo fits Bayern's profile perfectly for that left attacking role," Brown revealed. "With Wirtz off the market, this could be an elegant solution for all parties."

Despite finishing as Liverpool's second-top scorer last season (18 goals, 7 assists across all competitions - trailing only Mohamed Salah), questions linger about Gakpo's consistency under the new regime. His 49-appearance campaign showed flashes of brilliance but failed to fully convince Slot, who's reportedly keen to reshape his frontline.

For Gakpo, the allure of working under Vincent Kompany at one of Europe's most prestigious clubs presents an irresistible new challenge. As the transfer dominoes begin to fall, this potential German-Dutch connection could become one of the summer's most fascinating sagas. Will the Bundesliga soon be singing "Oh Cody Gakpo" to a new tune? The coming weeks may tell.
