Liverpool could reportedly benefit as Bayern might put up seven players for sale in order to gather funds for their pursuit of English striker Harry Kane.
Bayern Munich needs a replacement for their former striker Robert Lewandowski. The Polish international left the Bavarians and joined Spanish giants Barcelona in July 2022. And since then the German giants could not perform as per their standards.
The club won the Bundesliga title for the 2022-23 season on the dramatic last day of the season. Their struggle to score goals was pretty visible as the German club had a goal difference of 54 goals last season. Whereas their goal difference in the 2021-22 season was 60 in Bundesliga.
Bayern signed Sadio Mane from Liverpool back in the summer of 2022 to add some flair to their attack. But he did not have a good season due to injuries and other factors. They might also sell him for £17M after buying him for £35M a year ago.

Liverpool to Profit from Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane Pursuit
According to Sky Sports, Bayern are planning to offload almost seven players in order to manage funds to match Harry Kane’s price tag of £100M.
The list of players includes Yann Sommer, Alexander Nubel, Benjamin Pavard, Bouna Sarr, Marcel Sabitzer, Ryan Gravenberch, and Sadio Mane.
The Bavarians opened their bid for the English striker at £60M plus add-ons but it was rejected by Tottenham. The German club submitted another bid for £68-70M plus add-ons but again Spurs rejected the bid.
Amidst all this, Liverpool could benefit on many terms. They need the third midfield signing; as Gravenberch will be available on the market, it is positive news for the Reds. Klopp likes the Dutchman a lot and the club can possibly sign him for around £40M.
The Merseysiders are also looking forward to signing a versatile defender and probably pushing Trent Alexander-Arnold into the midfield.
And as Pavard has been put up for sale, the Anfield giants could make a move for him. The French international will be available for around £32M.
If Liverpool are able to pounce upon the opportunity to sign both players, the rebuild will reach almost the desired level. And the fans could possibly see a very different and elevated team from last season.
