Liverpool have reignited their interest in Manchester United target Cody Gakpo following impressive World Cup performances.
It has been a top tournament for the striker, who no doubt hopes to move to a bigger club in the coming months.
A January move looks possible, but his club PSV Eindhoven are increasingly reluctant to let such an important player leave mid-season.
Erik ten Hag showed strong interest in the striker during the summer transfer window, but it ultimately failed to materialise, as United ended up prioritizing a move for Antony.
After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, there is a need to reinforce the team’s attack and it is possible that the coach will seek to sign the Dutch international soon.
Fabrizio Romano reports via Caught Offside that Liverpool are also showing interest in signing Gakpo.
The club had sent scouts to watch the striker in the Eredivisie before the World Cup started.
So far this tournament, the versatile attacker has scored in each of the group stage matches.
For his club, he has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season.
The Peoples Person recently reported that Gakpo’s agents are working on a possible transfer away from the Dutch club in 2023.
Romano claims in his daily briefing that Liverpool have not scheduled a meeting with their agents to discuss a possible transfer.
Jurgen Klopp could use the January window to bring in reinforcements after a disappointing start to the season.
Ten Hag faces stiff competition to break into the top four and could also turn to the upcoming transfer window to strengthen his options in key areas.
United are reportedly in the market for a striker and right-back, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka looking likely to leave.
