There have been transfer rumors in recent days about Liverpool’s interest in signing Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry.
This story has now been approved by reliable German journalist Christian Falk via CF Bayern Insider.
According to Falk, Liverpool have inquired about Gnabry, as well as Juventus, with the Germany international facing an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena.
Gnabry has four goals and five assists for Bayern so far this season, so the Bavarian giants would probably do well to keep him.
Bayern ready to offer new contract to Serge Gnabry
According to Falk’s report, Bayern are keen to keep Gnabry at the club, with the Bundesliga champions ready to hand the 30-year-old former Arsenal player a new two-year contract.
Nonetheless, it appears that Gnabry would also have to be willing to take a pay cut if he committed to staying with his current employers.
It will be interesting to see if Gnabry decides he would like to do this, or if he feels he could get better deals elsewhere.
We know that Premier League clubs in particular can pay big money, which could give Liverpool an advantage if they decide to step up their interest.
Do Liverpool need Serge Gnabry?
Liverpool could probably do with more quality in attack right now, so Gnabry could arguably be a useful addition as an upgrade over Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa.
At the same time, he doesn’t exactly fit LFC’s transfer model, with the Merseyside giants more often than not targeting younger players with their peak years still ahead of them.
There could of course be exceptions to this rule, but one imagines that means Gnabry won’t necessarily be a top priority.
Liverpool have also been linked with other big names like Michael Olise and Antoine Semenyo, and they look more like classic Liverpool signings than Gnabry.
