THE BIGGER PICTURE
Gakpo is coming off an outstanding campaign with Liverpool, during which he scored 18 goals and provided six assists across all competitions. His efforts were instrumental in helping the Reds clinch the Premier League title, which has given birth to swirling rumours of a potential move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

DID YOU KNOW?
According to German journalist Christian Falk, Bayern have identified Gakpo as a top target after accepting their impending defeat to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, who appears to be edging closer to a move to Liverpool. The appeal for Bayern lies in Gakpo’s ability to fill multiple roles in attack. He could operate on the left flank or as a secondary striker behind Harry Kane, offering both tactical flexibility and additional firepower. However, any deal for Gakpo would require the German club to commit a fee in the region of €50 million (£42 million).
