Bayern Munich winger's agent 'knocking on Liverpool's door'
Liverpool look set to shake up their forward options in the summer transfer window. Several stars have got big question marks against their names, with strikers Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota available for the right price.
Arne Slot hasn't been won over by the pair, with Luis Diaz often the preferred option at No9. But Diaz himself is also in doubt. He is under contract until 2027 and if no resolution is reached over a new deal then he could be sold before his value drops.

Fellow winger Federico Chiesa, meanwhile, is attracting interest from Serie A sides as well as Tottenham. He could be on the move after just ONE season at Anfield.
Sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot are doing their due diligence on plenty of forwards - both in the striker and wing positions.
Kingsley Coman wants Liverpool move
One name that's been on the Liverpool radar is Kingsley Coman. The 28-year-old Bayern Munich winger looks set to depart the club this summer - with his representatives hopeful of scoring a Premier League move.

Coman, a serial title-winner with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern, is under contract at the Allianz Arena but has been squeezed out of the starting XI this season under Vincent Kompany.
The Bundesliga winners have only used Coman 13 times as a starter in the league this season - although he has still managed five goals and four assists in just 1220 minutes.
French international Coman has slipped down the pecking order with Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Michael Olise preferred in the wide positions and he has often been restricted to substitute roles.
Capable of playing on the right wing as well as his preferred position on the left, Coman could provide a versatile option for Arne Slot when seeking to rotate the likes of Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

Although his time at Bayern appears at an end, Christian Falk believes the player's entourage still think he is capable of performing at the highest levels.
Coman's agent checking out Premier League interest
'I heard that Kingsley Coman's agents are checking the markets. There's still an opportunity to go to Saudi Arabia, he writes in his CF Bayern Insider column.
'But, of course, Kingsley would be open to still playing at an elite European level. There were rumours of interest from Newcastle and Tottenham; this range would be possible for a move. However, Coman's entourage still wants to check if there is interest from big six clubs like Liverpool, who are searching for such positions.

'Perhaps also Manchester United, who previously held an interest in the player. At the moment, there's nothing concrete. They're just knocking on the doors of clubs and seeing if they need a player like him.'
One complicating factor for a club like Liverpool is Coman's salary. He is reported by Spotrac to be on over €300,000 per week in Bavaria, a sum outmatched at Anfield only by Salah and Virgil van Dijk.

Cody Gakpo comes clean on Bayern Munich offer
Liverpool have got ambitions to restructure their squad this summer - starting with Florian Wirtz. The 22-year-old Germany playmaker is a No10 by trade but can also occupy a left-sided attacking midfield position. His potential arrival could have an impact on several current Liverpool stars. Dominik Szoboszlai, for one, might consider his place under threat with Wirtz a rival for a central attacking position. Advertisement But Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo might also be looking over their shoulders. If Arne Slot opts to keep Szoboszlai where he currently plays - in order to get through his fair share of off-the-ball work - then Wirtz could end up being fielded from the left. And if the club are going to spend £126m on a new attacker, the expectation is that he will be a nailed-on starter. Where that leaves Diaz and Gakpo right now is anyone's guess. Gakpo a target for Bayern Diaz, 28, has been extensively linked with both Barcelona and Al-Nassr - with Liverpool seemingly willing to cash in if the right bid materialises. Advertisement Gakpo has also been associated with a move away and Bayern Munich are known to be keen amid uncertainty for attackers like Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman. Under contract until 2028, the 26-year-old is reported to be seeking a new deal from the Reds. However, if an attractive bid is made for the Dutchman then sporting director Richard Hughes could opt to take it under consideration. © IMAGO - Cody Gakpo Liverpool 2024-25 'Maybe my agents have heard', admits Gakpo The question of Gakpo's future was put to him recently on international duty - when the attacker featured in the Netherlands' 2-0 win over Finland. Does he see himself sticking with Liverpool? 'The way it looks now, definitely,' he said. ' I am in my place and I am happy. We have had a good season and as a team, as a club we are looking for more.' Advertisement He was then quizzed on Bayern's reported interest, stating that he is leaving all talks in the hands of his representatives. "I haven't heard anything about it myself. I've moved on from that,' he said. "Maybe my agents have heard something about it, but I haven't heard anything yet. As I just said, I'm focused on how things are now." Gakpo has been at Anfield since January 2023 and excelled for Arne Slot last season when placed in his correct position. He scored 18 goals and added seven assists in 49 appearances overall.

Arne Slot gave telling response to Thomas Frank compliment as Tottenham appointment nears
Tottenham is closing in on the appointment of Thomas Frank as the club's new manager after parting ways with Ange Postecoglou last week. Spurs took the decision to move forward without the Australian manager, despite the club winning its first piece of silverware since 2008 by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final last month. Ultimately, Tottenham's league form cost Postecoglou his job, as the North London outfit finished in 17th position after losing 22 of its 38 Premier League games. Advertisement Spurs has identified Frank as the man to replace Postecoglou, and the Danish coach is somebody who Liverpool boss Arne Slot has a lot of respect for. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz medical, Milos Kerkez talks, Darwin Nunez future READ MORE: How Liverpool should spend $171M if Florian Wirtz transfer collapses After Frank described Liverpool as "the best team in the world" in January, Slot said: "His (Frank's) opinion means something to me because he has shown at Brentford how well he has done for so many years without spending crazy amounts of money." Frank's exact quote about Liverpool was: 'We just played City and Arsenal and now Liverpool, in a short amount of time. For me they're a level above the two teams. They're complete. Advertisement 'Their work ethic, the way they track back, are good indicators. They're so good all over the pitch. Such a threat going forward. These are really, really good. It's the best team in the Premier League and the world. They're huge favorites to win it (the title)." While Slot had some kind words to say about Frank in January, the soon-to-be new Spurs manager was not alone in receiving praise from the Reds' head coach: Slot also showered the axed Postecoglou with praise ahead of Liverpool's Carabao Cup semi-final meeting with Tottenham earlier this year. 'They (Tottenham) have always been a certain brand of football for me and have a certain identity," Slot said. "I think Ange Postecoglou gives them that identity back completely. Ange is doing great work over there. I hope this is seen a bit more. I also hope, hope, hope that he wins a trophy. 'I'm completely a fan of his team for the Europa League because people always talk about trophies and that it's so important. For his brand of football and his style, it is so much more important and if he can combine that with winning something that would be so good for football in general because people can stop talking about it's too attacking or whatever. How on earth can you play too [much] attacking football?'
