Liverpool are reportedly keeping close tabs on Bayern Munich's attacking options amid the summer transfer window, with a potential focus on Luis Diaz as a key target. Bayern, having missed out on Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, are considering alternative signings including Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, which has raised concerns among Reds supporters given Gakpo's impact with 18 goals and six assists helping Liverpool secure the Premier League title last season. Bayern remain interested in several other wide players, but Gakpo is high on their list as they seek to bolster their attack for the coming season.

Meanwhile, Liverpool themselves are exploring a potential move for Bayern Munich centre-back Kim Min-jae. The South Korea international's asking price has reportedly decreased from around €50m to about €35m, and he is keen to move to the Premier League. Liverpool face competition for Kim’s signature from Newcastle United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and AC Milan. Adding Kim would strengthen Liverpool’s defense and further signal their intent to compete at the highest level in both domestic and European competitions.

In the midfield and attacking department, Bayern Munich are also aiming to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze following their failure to secure Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, who is now close to joining Liverpool. Eze has a release clause of approximately £60 million with added performance bonuses and remains a coveted target. However, Bayern's decision to focus on Eze may affect Liverpool's interests given his rising profile after helping Crystal Palace win the FA Cup this season.

All these developments indicate ongoing rivalry between Liverpool and Bayern Munich in the transfer market, both clubs actively seeking to strengthen their squads with top international talents to prepare for the upcoming season.
