Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo has confirmed that Bayern Munich showed interest in signing him during the 2025 summer transfer window. The Dutch attacker, who joined Liverpool from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023, has established himself as a key player with 18 goals and 7 assists in the previous season. Despite Bayern’s pursuit, the transfer did not materialize as the German club eventually signed Gakpo’s Liverpool teammate, Luis Diaz, for a substantial fee of £65.5 million.

Gakpo revealed that the summer transfer saga took nearly a year to resolve, and he has now committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new long-term contract extending his stay at Anfield beyond 2028, reportedly until 2030. He described the transfer window experience as "hectic and stressful," but affirmed his contentment in remaining at Liverpool, emphasizing that uncertainty about his future would have made things difficult.

According to Gakpo, the decision was clear once Bayern acquired Luis Diaz, signaling the end of their pursuit of him. Despite the interest from the Bundesliga giants, Gakpo’s commitment to Liverpool is evident, providing the club and fans with reassurance about one of their key attacking players.

This development comes after Liverpool missed out on several other top targets during the transfer window, making Gakpo’s contract renewal a significant boost for the Reds as they prepare for the upcoming season.
