TA: Gacopo has a total price of 44 million pounds, Dijk is a lobbyist and Manchester United have no cash to promote the transfer.

On December 29th, The Athletic UK Liverpool reporter James Pearce took the lead, TA declassified Gakpo to join Liverpool’s Neimo.
Liverpool’s outgoing sporting director Julian Ward has been reaching a transfer deal with Cody Garkpo’s club PSV Eindhoven on Christmas Eve and during the Christmas season. His negotiation showdown in the Netherlands is aimed at former Everton sports director Marcel Brandez (Marcel Brands).
To the delight of Klop and his staff, within an hour of Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Boxing Day (26 December), there was news of a verbal agreement with PSV Eindhoven on the transfer of Gakpo.
It has been five years since Liverpool’s Dutch centre-back Dijk moved to Liverpool from Southampton and he has played an important role in the transfer of Gakpo.
The 31-year-old centre-back is the captain of the Netherlands and his national team-mates respect him and turn to him for advice. He talked to Gacopo about playing at Liverpool and working for Klop, as well as about the 23-year-old to his colleagues at Anfield.
Real Madrid and Manchester United are also interested in Gakpo, Dijk said in an interview with TA on December 3: “are Manchester United and Real Madrid at the same level now?” Without disrespect, it’s not the same at all.
I think he will certainly have further development, I think it is very likely that he will move away, whether in winter or next year, time will tell us. But he’s a good boy. He works hard, he is talented, and he must have more potential. We are glad that he has done so well and hope he can keep it up for a long time. ”
The left-winger will cost Liverpool £37 million with additional terms that can float up to £44 million and the two sides have signed a long-term contract up to 2028.
TA can reveal that Gacbo is already on Liverpool’s transfer target list for the summer of 2023, but when PSV Eindhoven was willing to sell him in this winter window, the club thought it was an opportunity they could not miss and the injuries of Luis Diaz and Diogo Rota also led to the decision.
Leeds United and Southampton both tried to sign Garkpo at the end of the transfer window last summer, but failed, while Manchester United and Chelsea are considering making moves before Christmas.
Manchester United’s Dutch coach Eric Tenhag and the player met with SEG chief executive Keith Voss at the club’s Carrington training centre in the past two weeks at the same agency SEG, Manchester United’s football director Motaf.
However, Manchester United’s final decision was that they did not think they could bring in Gakpo in the winter window. PSV Eindhoven asked for a large amount of cash directly and there was no money on Manchester United’s account. Some at Old Trafford also question whether Gakpo is suitable as a centre-forward to replace the departed Cristiano Ronaldo because he is mainly on the left, cutting with his right foot, similar to the role of England striker Marcus Rushford.
Manchester United’s approach seems easy to think of Liverpool intercepting Hudias from Tottenham, giving Liverpool a better chance to finalise the transfer six months in advance.
As FSG sought new investment, Klop and his employees were promised “business as usual,” and the source said Klop and his employees thanked the boss and Ward for their decisive action. The risk of losing next season’s Champions League is too high-Liverpool are sixth in 15 of 38 games, five points behind the top four-after all, it is impossible to stop.
As they did after the arrival of Diaz, Liverpool will see the signing of Garkpo as another victory, which was carried out very effectively and without any controversy before the January transfer window officially opened on Sunday. They will be particularly happy because he is a player selected by club scouts in 2014 and they have been tracking him ever since.
Gacopo has made impressive progress over the past few seasons and Liverpool believe he fits the image of the player they want to invest in.
