Cody Gakpo has been a source of frustration among the Liverpool fanbase this season, and his future is now being cast into doubt.Gakpo’s form in 2025/26 has been poor, yet Arne Slot often favours him over other players like Florian Wirtz and Rio Ngumoha off the left.That may no longer be an issue next season, though, as it is now being reported that Liverpool are indirectly offering the player to other clubs and looking at Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon as a replacement. Arne Slot’s expected front three without Salah, what changes would you make? 🔄 No room for Rio again!
Salah is ruled out vs Brighton and Frimpong is a doubt. Looks like Gakpo will return…Liverpool predicted XI vs Brighton – GRV Media Cody Gakpo has a genuine chance to leave LiverpoolTeamTalk report that Premier League strugglers Tottenham Hotspur are among those looking at the winger.Meanwhile, Gakpo is being ‘actively offered to clubs across the Premier League and Europe by intermediaries’.RB Leipzig, Napoli and AC Milan are all named as potential suitors for the former PSV man.Any concrete proposals that come back are then expected to be sent to those in a position of power at Liverpool, who will make a decision on his future.Should he leave, the Reds would be willing to consider a move for the aforementioned Gordon.However, a move may be easier said than done to complete, given what the Newcastle winger has said about his future.Gordon has been mooted to join Liverpool for a while, but he has been quick to play down talk of a St James’ Park exit this season.Speaking last month, he said: “I have gone through enough transfer stuff now to know that it is all a load of rubbish.”The Newcastle forward has been named the quickest player in the Champions League this season, a trait which would be invaluable to Liverpool given the lack of pace some of their current wide options have.But his potential signing may not be ideal for Ngumoha, who is starting to garner more senior minutes as the season goes on.However, if both Gakpo and Mohamed Salah were to leave this summer, there may be more room for Ngumoha even if another winger is signed.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
