Garkepo: Bayern intends to sign me this summer, but they finally choose Louis Dias

Hupu September 2nd News Recently, while following the Dutch national team to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers, Liverpool forward Garkepo was interviewed by ESPN Netherlands. The Dutch international also talked about multiple topics and situations such as his and Liverpool's contract renewal.

Regarding the reasons for renewing the contract with Liverpool

I think it took us a year to negotiate this matter. Maybe it's longer, maybe it's shorter, but it's just a long process. I have told the club that I am happy here and that my family is living happily in England. We feel at home, and I think this is also very important. Of course, besides football itself, this is also a point we value.

Regarding the goal of playing for Liverpool, I feel like I have grown a lot. Obviously, I played in different positions, which ultimately helped me grow as a player. I personally had a very good season last season and the whole team also had a very good season, which gave us the motivation to continue to maintain hunger, continue to improve, and strive to win as many championships as possible in the next few years.

I think we have a very strong team now and are building something special. We won the league last season, so we have to do our best to defend it. We also want to win the Champions League and other Cups, which is what we are pursuing. Personally, I want to continue to improve, and every year is better than the previous year. That's our goal.

Rumors about transfers with Bayern this summer

As far as I know, they asked about my situation and wanted to sign me, but in the end they bought Louis Diaz (laughs).

Of course, I have had different experiences myself. Such a transfer window is busy and stressful for me and everyone around me. But this doesn't bother me anymore.

At the end of the day, it's difficult because a lot of things are happening. If other big clubs come to you, but you may want to stay in your own club. Everyone handles it in their own way, but it is certainly a difficult decision.
