Klopp can forget about him, wants to sign new Mané in winter, will cost half as much as Mbappé

According to ESPN, Liverpool are interested in acquiring the services of Cody Gakpo in the next summer transfer window with the intention of having more attacking options and offering more options to Jürgen Klopp, who has failed to reverse the team's poor start to the season.

The Reds have serious offensive problems at the start of the season due to the low level of Mohamed Salah and the lack of goals from Darwin Núñez, who is playing well but has yet to make a difference as expected at Anfield Road. The injuries to Luis Díaz and Diogo Jota have taken away Jürgen Klopp's options, so they want to add another piece to the rotation for next season.

Cody Gakpo's name is on the agenda of the club's sporting management because he fits perfectly with Jürgen Klopp's idea of the game and because he has a lot of versatility due to the fact that he can play as a winger and as a centre-forward. Not to mention his impressive numbers, which have put him in the sights of Manchester United and FC Barcelona.

The Dutch striker, whose contract expires in the summer of 2026 and is believed to be worth around 50 million euros, has 13 goals and 17 assists in 23 games this season. Impressive numbers that will also help him to be present at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

<strong>Gakpo costs 41 million</strong>

Last summer PSV Eindhoven turned down a huge offer from the Premier League as they considered it insufficient to let him leave. On that occasion it was Leeds United who offered a price of 30 million euros and variables that could amount to 11 million euros plus this amount, they did not take them into account.
