It’s official: Liverpool have blown the whistle on Manchester United. The Dutch youngster is headed for Klopp

All indications were that the PSV Eindhoven player should move to Manchester after a successful championship, where he was already interested in the summer. However, according to the latest information, confirmed by sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, Cody Gakpo is to fly to Liverpool for a medical.

Cody Gakpo has had an excellent half-year, in which he has been adding goals and assists like a treadmill. He’s one of the few footballers on the planet who can compete with Haaland for points.

The Dutch offensive footballer is an offspring of PSV Eindhoven, for whom he has already played 159 games. He has scored 9 goals and assisted 12 more in the league so far this season.

In addition, he scored three times in the Europa League and was also prominent at the World Cup in Qatar. It is no wonder that leading European clubs quickly started to probe the situation around him.

All indications were that Gakpo would be the closest to a transfer to Manchester United, where he would meet Dutch coach Erik ten Hag.

In fact, the Red Devils’ board had been hinting at the situation surrounding Gakpo since the summer, and this information, including the interest of the player himself, was confirmed by the well-known Fabrizio Romano.

However, in the last few hours the situation regarding Gakpo has taken a completely different direction. Liverpool stepped in and didn’t hesitate too much and quickly agreed on a transfer fee with PSV Eindhoven.

The information about the successful negotiations was confirmed on Twitter and on the website by the club itself. It even announced that Gakpo would move to England almost immediately, where he will undergo a medical.

Although neither club has yet confirmed the final amount for which the footballer will transfer, the general manager has confirmed that it is a record amount for PSV. Its estimate is between 40 and 50 million euros.
