Bayern executives are in love with Garkepo, Liverpool may need to be nervous

In terms of winger signings, the current situation of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich seems not to be optimistic.

It is reported that the Bavarian giant is determined to strengthen the left side this summer to deal with the free transfer of the team's general Leroy Sane.

The German international is about to join the Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray. His departure will make the defending Bundesliga champions look a little stretched in the choice of the wing.

Nico Williams and Jamie Gittens are two important names on Bayern's signing list. However, both players now seem to be about to join Bayern's rivals in the European arena.

Chelsea and Barcelona will "snatch" Gittens and Williams

For Bayern Sports Director Max Eber and Sports Director Christoph Freinde, the past few days have not been a success.

Chelsea and Barcelona have taken substantial actions against Gittens and Williams respectively. According to sources close to the club, both players are highly likely to complete permanent transfers at this stage.

The England winger has reached an agreement with Chelsea, who is coached by Enzo Maresca, on personal terms. On the other hand, Barcelona also believes that despite financial concerns, they are capable of completing their registration for Nico Williams this summer.

It is reported that an investment from the German company Libero Football Finance totaled 40 million euros (about 34 million pounds) will be transferred to the Barcelona club's account for the 2025/26 season.

Bayern may now turn their targets to Liverpool wingers Garkepo and Dias

As there are fewer and fewer choices of high-quality wingers in the market this summer, Bayern is forced to turn its attention to the Premier League.

Liverpool currently has a large number of left-wing talents, which has attracted the attention of Max Eberl. In fact, German famous reporter Christian Falke recently revealed to CaughtOffside that Cody Garkepo is the "personal favorite" of this Bayern supervisor.

At the same time, Louis Diaz is also a player that Bayern executives highly appreciate.

"Max Ebert should be looking for alternatives to the wing position now. Liverpool's Cody Garkepo, for example, may be back in their sight," the Bundesliga reporter said.

"This player is said to be one of Eber personally very favoured."

"After having their first meeting with Garkebo, they have not contacted their agents recently. But now, this situation may change soon. His teammate Louis Dias is still a candidate."

Last season, Garkebo and Dias contributed a total of 35 goals and 15 assists in various competitions.

We can fully understand why Garkepo attracted Bayern's signing team with his amazing goal contribution efficiency under Slot last season.

Is the prospect of a stable main position enough to attract the Dutch international to part ways with the defending Premier League champion? This remains to be seen.

Of course, there is another potentially difficult problem, that is, the transfer fee. Cody Garkepo's contract with Liverpool will not expire three years (until the summer of 2028), and he is a favorite of coach Slott.

Liverpool will never let the left winger go easily this summer - unless the player himself has a strong desire to leave the team, and Bayern can give him an extremely considerable transfer fee.
