Arne Slot favourite offered to clubs ahead of surprise sale
Cody Gakpo: Summary of the situation
Inconsistency and transfer reports
Gakpo played the full 90 minutes at the Amex but admitted after the match that he “couldn’t explain” Liverpool’s recurring inconsistency. Despite starting 25 Premier League games this season, he has only managed 6 goals and 3 assists. Reports from TEAMtalk and ESPN suggest intermediaries are “actively assessing interest” from clubs like RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Tottenham. Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon as a potential replacement if a suitable offer arrives this summer.

Current role and statistics
The 26-year-old has been a notable figure under Arne Slot, particularly since Hugo Ekitiké’s recent injury. In all competitions in 2025/26, Gakpo has 8 goals and 4 assists. Although he remains a reliable tactical option, critics have highlighted his struggle to maintain “sustainable dominance”. With a contract running until June 2030, any exit would likely require a significant fee, although Jurgen Klopp’s presence at Red Bull could facilitate a move to Leipzig.
