Cody Gakpo is one of the best players in Europe outside the big five leagues and the target of several European giants. His breakthrough at PSV has earned him a place in Louis Van Gaal's system, who sometimes uses him as a playmaker or winger. He is a very complete footballer who has a good relationship with Memphis Depay.

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.

Darwin Nunez forgets Liverpool, this is his new target

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.

Codry Gakpo, Jürgen Klopp's new Liverpool target

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. Real Madrid are tracking a number of promising young talents in world football, most notably Jude Bellingham, who they are planning to sign in 2023 and for whom they will have to fight with Liverpool. In this way, Florentino Pérez wants to follow a roadmap in the market thinking in the long term. However, the reality is that the team could find a major problem in the short term, and that is that the striker is lame.
