Speculation linking Gakpo with a move away from Liverpool has mounted since Arne Slot was fired at the end of last month.Slot, who clearly rated fellow Dutchman Gakpo highly during his spell at Anfield, was dismissed on May 30 after an end-of-season review, with Andoni Iraola installed as his replacement five days later.
Earlier this month it was claimed that Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi was interested in signing Gakpo, as he gets to work on reshaping Spurs' squad after an atrocious 2025-26 campaign.However, suggestions that Gakpo is actively looking to leave Liverpool are said to be inaccurate at the moment.Meanwhile, Liverpool is not planning for Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez to be at the club next season, despite ongoing speculation over the pair’s futures.Salah confirmed his exit from Anfield earlier this year before playing his final game for the club last month, having reached an agreement for the final year of his contract to be waived.Nunez, meanwhile, left Liverpool last summer after three years, making the move to Saudi Arabia.Mohamed Salah won't be staying at LiverpoolRecent rumors though have suggested both could yet be Liverpool players again next season, with both men on the lookout for new clubs this summer.Salah’s Egypt teammate Ahmed El-Shenawy recently suggested that the winger could yet make a U-turn on his Anfield exit following Arne Slot's exit, having told ON Time Sports that Salah "could still stay with the team" after discussing his future ahead of the World Cup.Speculation has been growing over Nunez’s future, meanwhile, with the striker looking likely to be on the move after being dropped by Al-Hilal for the second half of the 2025/26 season.Reports have indicated that the 26-year-old’s contract could be terminated, which would see him become available for a free transfer.That has led to supporters calling for him to make the move back to Liverpool, with claims coming from Uruguayan reporters on Monday that Nunez will be returning to Anfield this summer.Those claims were quickly downplayed, and according to The Athletic, neither Nunez nor Salah are being eyed up for Liverpool next season.Senior sources at the club are said to have insisted that a return for the former is not on the cards, while there is "no chance" of a U-turn being made on Salah’s exit.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCCody GakpoTransfers
