Liverpool Ruled Out Selling Cody Gakpo This Summer – Praises His Versatility
Liverpool has confirmed that Cody Gakpo will not be sold in the upcoming summer transfer market, with the club valuing his versatility across multiple attacking positions. The Dutch forward has become essential to Liverpool's attack this season due to injuries and departures of other key players, though he has faced criticism for his goal-scoring output with 9 goals in 49 appearances.
Reports indicate Liverpool has no plans to sell Dutch forward Cody Gakpo in the upcoming summer transfer window, as he can play multiple positions in the attacking lineup.
Gakpo has become a vital player in Liverpool's attack this season following Luis Díaz's departure and Alexander Isak's recent injury troubles.
While the 26-year-old was linked with Bayern Munich during last summer's transfer window, that move never came to fruition.
According to Telegraph reporter Dominic King, Gakpo is a player Liverpool will certainly not let go during this summer's transfer market. The versatile forward will cover for Mohamed Salah's potential departure and Diogo Jota's extended absence throughout the year.
"There are questions that need answering, and it may be asking too much of Alexander Isak to play 60 consecutive matches. Cody Gakpo will not be allowed to leave, as he can play multiple attacking positions. But who else will score the goals?" King stated.
Gakpo has faced criticism for his performance this season, with statistics showing just 9 goals and 6 assists from 49 appearances across all competitions.
