Bayern will be forced to accept £34m as attacker tells Liverpool he wants £13m a year

Liverpool target Serge Gnabry speaks

Liverpool have held talks with the agent of Bayern Munich attacker Serge Gnabry as they enquire about personal terms, according to reports.

The Germany international has one year left on his contract with no sign of fresh talks after Gnabry rebuffed all of Bayern’s previous attempts at renewing his deal.

Gnabry, who has scored 20 goals in 31 caps for Germany, swapped Arsenal for Werder Bremen in 2016 before moving on to Bayern just one season later in 2017.

He spent a season on loan at Hoffenheim before being integrated into the first-team at Bayern, where he has scored 63 goals in 171 appearances.

And with Sadio Mane looking set to leave Liverpool this summer, Anfield Central claim that the Reds ‘have held talks’ with Gnabry’s agent ‘over personal demands’.

Reports have claimed that Mane has told the Liverpool hierarchy that he is ready to move on for a new challenge this summer and they are ‘sounding out their options’.

Bayern value Gnabry at €80m but because of the time left on his contract they ‘understand they will have to accept as little as €35-€40m (£30m-£34m)’.

Anfield Central add that Gnabry and his representatives ‘are aware they are in a great position of power’ and will make sure they get what their client deserves.

On Gnabry’s demands, the report adds:

‘The German forward wants £13million (roughly €15m) per year or £250,000 per week.

‘We’re told that the offer Liverpool were open to making was closer to the equivalent of £200,000 per week (roughly £10m).’

As proven in their negotiations with Mo Salah, the Merseysiders are ‘willing to stand their ground’ and the Premier League side have ‘reached an impasse fairly early in negotiations’ with Gnabry.

Arsenal and Tottenham have both been linked with Gnabry too in recent months with the north London clubs looking to close the gap on Manchester…
