Liverpool have entered the running to sign Serge Gnabry on a free transfer next summer, according to multiple reports. La Gazzetta dello Sport first revealed Liverpool\u2019s interest in the Bayern Munich winger, and the situation has since attracted attention from Juventus.<\/p>\n
BILD\u2019s lead editor Christian Falk confirms interest in Gnabry from Liverpool and Juventus, stating an approach has been made by both, and he says the winger\u2019s mammoth salary is causing significant issues for his two suitors. Gnabry is one of Bayern\u2019s top earners on a contract he signed in 2022, with terms due to expire at the end of the season. The Bundesliga champions have made it clear they will not offer similar terms.<\/p>\n
It is understood Gnabry is open to taking a pay cut to remain at Bayern, but the delicate nature of negotiations has created an opening for Liverpool and Juventus. Bayern remain keen to keep him and are still working on an agreement over fresh terms. If the stalemate continues for another six weeks, Liverpool and Juventus would be able to hold formal talks with the 30-year-old.<\/p>\n
Gnabry is a right winger by trade and has demonstrated notable versatility this season, playing on both the left wing and in a central attacking midfield role. He has contributed four goals and four assists in 15 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are also reported to be monitoring Bayern centre back Dayot Upamecano. His expiring contract has led to his identification as a possible replacement for Liverpool\u2019s contract rebel, Ibrahima Konat\u00e9. As a potential free transfer, Gnabry could command higher wages from his European suitors in the absence of a transfer fee, while Upamecano\u2019s availability adds a further option for defensive cover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
