Getty ImagesWHAT GAKPO SAID
Speaking to ESPN, Gakpo revealed: "From what I understand, they [Bayern] did come [to open talks about a transfer], but they ended up buying Luis Diaz. It's difficult because so much is happening. Other clubs are approaching you, but you might want to stay with your own club. Everyone handles that in their own way, but it's definitely difficult. When the future is uncertain, it just becomes a very difficult story."
The Liverpool star added on his relief at having his future secured: "It's nice. I've experienced things differently myself, of course. A transfer window like that can be hectic and stressful for a player and everyone around them. I don't have that problem anymore."

Gakpo will now focus on continuing his progress at Liverpool under Slot. With Diaz gone, he may also be expected to take on greater responsibility in attack alongside new arrivals Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak. Liverpool fans will hope his long-term commitment translates into consistent performances this season and beyond.
