Jurgen Klopp has identified £39.4million forward as potential Firmino replacement

Liverpool sold Sadio Mane during the summer transfer season and is now missing Luis Diaz, who is recovering from a knee injury.

In such a situation, the Reds lack a natural/quality left winger and have recently used Darwin Nunez on the left flank.

The Merseysiders should strengthen the position in the winter transfer window and a talented Dutchman has claimed that he would like to agree on a move to Liverpool.

Cody Gakpo was heavily linked with a move away from PSV Eindhoven in the summer transfer window but ended up staying with the Eredivisie giants.

The 23-year-old attacker has recently told NOS:

PSV was always my dream club. As for the rest, I don’t really have one, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool. It would be an honor to play there, but I also have to see what kind of team I would do best in.

Last season, in 47 appearances for PSV, Gakpo scored 21 goals and provided 15 assists in competitions, and was named the Dutch Footballer of the Year.

This season, in just 24 games, the 9-cap international, who will compete in the World Cup, has already produced 30 goals (13 goals and 17 assists).

Voetbal International reported in April that the Netherlands star’s representatives had met with Liverpool.

The youngster’s current contract with the Philips Stadion club expires in 2026, and according to reports (Football Transfers), the club wants 45 million euros (£39.4 million) for him.
