Liverpool supporters were just as shocked as many Manchester United fans were when they learned that Cody Gakpo had reached an agreement to transfer to Merseyside. The news came as a surprise to both sets of fans. Nevertheless, there is one person who is not likely to be as ecstatic as his admirers, and that is Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan has been successful in winning over a good number of the supporters at Anfield, but those from further away have been ready to poke fun at him. A good number of these commentators could be under the impression that the arrival of the Dutch national could spell the end of the time spent by the emeritus forward who formerly played for Benfica in the starting lineup for Liverpool.

In his press conference on Boxing Day (which was relayed on the club’s official website), Jurgen Klopp, who is 55 years old, appeared to send a very deliberate message to his high-priced striker. The German manager said, “He’s unstoppable when we keep the ball and pass it in the right moment, there’s no defender who can really catch up speed-wise.” Jurgen Klopp appeared to convey a very intentional message, despite the fact that he was undoubtedly aware of the agreement that had been reached with PSV.
“I am aware of all the rumors that have been going around, and while they may be accurate, we are not at all worried about anything at all; everything will be okay,” the person said. “I am aware of all the stories that have been going around.” It doesn’t matter how well he did as long as we won with a score of 3-1 because that’s the only thing that counts. He delivered an amazing performance.
“I haven’t been in the business since the day before yesterday, and I’ve had some strikers about. It has been brought to my attention that the score at the beginning of the game is irrelevant to the outcome. There are a great many other things going on that are much more important to take into consideration. You just need to keep your cool and not lose your composure.
Despite the fact that it appears as though he will soon become a true goal-anger once he incorporates more composure into his game, it would appear that there are no plans to give the 23-year-old player some time away from the spotlight in the near future. This is the case despite the fact that it would appear as though there are no plans to give the player some time away from the spotlight in the near future.
Despite this, it is likely that the German will use his summer acquisition with Mo Salah and the new attacker who was brought in from the Eredivisie for the foreseeable future. This is because there are currently injury concerns with Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Bobby Firmino.
It will be up to the players to demonstrate who ought to be given the starting position for the Reds on a permanent basis as they work toward catching up to the clubs that are now at the top of the table while the Reds try to catch up to them.
‘Klopp wants more’ – Gakpo is not the only vital target Liverpool will get in transfer plan
Paul Gorst has the latest on Cody Gakpo joining Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp restocks.
Virgil van Dijk showed his sly side on Boxing Night at Villa Park. He winked and nodded to show his awareness.
After celebrating Liverpool’s 3-1 Premier League win, defender Virgil van Dijk began hinting at what was to come for Reds fans.
“I hope the injured players can return soon and that our football club can bring in some new players,” he stated. Will see. I think Liverpool values quality.”

The Dutch defender knew something his colleagues did not. Liverpool signed PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo, Virgil van Dijk’s Netherlands teammate, within minutes.
Liverpool quickly and quietly signed the Eredivisie’s top scorer. Before Christmas, the Dutch confirmed that Gakpo will go to Merseyside.
PSV and Liverpool FC have “reached an agreement on the proposed transfer of Cody Gakpo,” according to their official websites. “The 23-year-old will travel to England to complete the transfer paperwork. Both teams have kept the transfer fee quiet.”

PSV claims that the transfer fee is a club record, and it is likely that additional costs would bring the total to between £45 and £50. It brings to a close a busy few days behind the scenes at Liverpool, which began after they moved surgically to ensure that they, and not Manchester United, will welcome the current Dutch Player of the Year to England in 2023.

Anfield insiders have drawn comparisons between the move and the one that took place at the beginning of the year to get Luis Diaz, and there are many parallels between the two transactions. After Tottenham Hotspur displayed interest in signing Diaz in late January, Liverpool was forced to make a quick decision regarding the player’s future. Liverpool intended to make Diaz of Porto their summer transfer target.
Before the January transfer window closed, Liverpool had to rush Diaz through his medical examination by sending a representative to Argentina, where the Colombian national team was playing, and relying on the goodwill of the Los Cafeteros national squad. This insured that Diaz signed the document before the allotted time had passed.
The talented recruitment staff for the Reds put in a lot of extra work over the holidays to beat United, whose manager Erik ten Hag has been interested in the most promising young footballer in the Netherlands for a long time. After a period of inactivity of over a year, this attempt was made.
United are once again losing out to Liverpool, and much of the credit should go to outgoing sporting director Julian Ward. He is believed to have sacrificed a significant portion of his holiday season to ensure that talks with his PSV counterpart, Marcel Brands, progressed significantly and smoothly. United’s loss to Liverpool is similar to Tottenham’s loss to Liverpool at the beginning of the year.
In the new year, Ward was instrumental in reviving Liverpool’s forwards. At the conclusion of the season before, he was promoted to the role of official sporting director. Through the acquisitions of Diaz (25), Darwin Nunez (23), and Gakpo in the past year, the former loan and pathways manager has significantly reduced the average age of the Reds frontline (23). The contract that Diogo Jota signed in August was a component of that long-term strategy.

The club must spend close to £140 on initial fees for all three players. Liverpool will spend £185 on long-term reorganization if they buy all Gakpo, Nunez, and Diaz add-ons. For a club with cheapskate owners, it’s quite an expense for a year. Liverpool is clearly looking ahead with first-team players like Ibrahima Konate (23), Trent Alexander-Arnold (24), Harvey Elliott (19), and Fabio Carvalho (20), as well as young talents like Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak, and Calvin Ramsay.
Liverpool may sign 19-year-old Jude Bellingham. Jurgen Klopp loves Borussia Dortmund’s midfielder, even though if he wins the race, the transfer fee will be a club record. Klopp still loves the Borussia Dortmund midfielder. Whether Liverpool stays in the Champions League next summer will be crucial.

After PSV said they would trade in winter, the Reds signed Gakpo. The Reds’ restricted alternatives owing to Diaz and Jota’s injury made this crucial. Gakpo is needed at Anfield now as well as in the long term because the latter is not likely to return until February and Diaz is recovering from knee surgery earlier this month.
It’s clear why Jurgen Klopp values the 23-year-old. He’s versatile like most of the manager’s forwards. He scored three goals in five World Cup games, demonstrating his speed, strength, and finishing ability. Liverpool believes he will improve as he plays at a high level.

Liverpool has previously given their fans a Christmas gift after the holiday. It had been five years to the day since the Reds confirmed Van Dijk’s signing in January 2018.
Since then, his portrait with the Liverpool shirt in front of the Christmas tree has become famous. It depicts Klopp’s team’s rise to contenders.
Van Dijk appears to be the one announcing prospective recruits currently. The Oranje skipper likely advised Gakpo on all things Anfield during the World Cup. Liverpool’s No. 4 will help his national teammate settle in over the coming weeks and months.
