Liverpool are reportedly interested in making a move for Bayern Munich attacker Serge Gnabry, having him on their “shortlist” of attacking options. According to Bild journalist Christian Falk [via Sport Witness], the Premier League champions are eyeing a move for Bayern star Gnabry, but his potential £16.7m-a-year wages could be too much for them to justify: “Liverpool also have him on their shortlist.

But for them too, that’s a very, very large sum of money.” Gnabry is out of contract at Bayern at the end of this season, allowing Liverpool to sign him on a free transfer, should they consider him a strong option. There is no doubting Gnabry’s pedigree as a top-level footballer in recent years, with Rio Ferdinand once hailing him as “world-class”, saying: “His stats are phenomenal.

He’s sitting in the top level, world class. I don’t think anyone’s upwards trajectory is as sharp as his.” Gnabry is a Champions League winner with Bayern, also winning six Bundesliga titles there, but he is now 30 years of age, which is why signing him would be a risk for Liverpool, with his prime years potentially behind him, like Salah.
