Gakpo is wanted, what should Liverpool do?

Dutch striker Cody Gakpo is attracting attention from Bayern Munich and other big clubs. Liverpool need to make an important decision about his future this summer.

Dutch star Cody Gakpo is currently one of the hottest transfer targets of big clubs in Europe. This season, Gakpo has gradually asserted his position under coach Arne Slot, and now he is being sought after by a number of “big guys”, including Bayern Munich. So, what should Liverpool do with Gakpo when they may face attractive offers in the upcoming summer transfer window?

Gakpo at Liverpool: From challenge to success

After moving to Anfield with great expectations, Gakpo encountered many difficulties in the first matches. However, since November last year, the 25-year-old has found impressive form, scoring eight goals and providing three assists in 15 games before suffering an injury in February.

In particular, under Slot’s guidance, Gakpo has become an important part of Liverpool’s tactical scheme, holding the position of left winger.

Potential interests

Recently, a report from Fichajes said that many top European clubs are planning to recruit Gakpo, with Bayern Munich being the team that particularly desires the Dutch striker. The source confirmed that Bayern are ready to make a €90 million offer to recruit Gakpo.

If this proposal is indeed sent to Anfield, Liverpool will certainly have to consider carefully to make a reasonable decision on Gakpo’s future.

Should Liverpool sell Gakpo?

With Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez all likely to leave the club this summer, if Salah does not sign a new contract, Liverpool will be facing a major overhaul. If Gakpo is sold, it is clear that the Anfield club will be in a serious personnel crisis.

Therefore, parting ways with Gakpo could be a risky move if Liverpool do not find quality replacements in time, especially when the team is in need of strengthening their attack.

Although the proceeds from selling Gakpo could help the Reds supplement their transfer budget, it will not be easy for them to find a player who can adapt perfectly to Slot’s tactics. Overall, Liverpool’s decision on Gakpo will have a big impact on the future of the team.

If an attractive offer is received, Liverpool – the team leading the Premier League table – will need to consider carefully and at the same time ensure that they have a reasonable transfer plan to replace this player.
