"Gakpo is somebody who could have left last summer. He was one of a few players who were spoken about, these attacking players at Liverpool who haven't quite been as impressive as Slot may have hoped. He ended up staying, but his performances this season haven't done much to change the opinion that he might be a bit below the level they hope for."
"The problem is, Mohamed Salah is going to play a big part because there's a big chance he could leave Liverpool and they won't want too much change. After everything that happened last summer and the chaos of it all, I can't see Liverpool letting more than one attacker leave, otherwise it just adds to the unsettled feeling."
"So a lot will depend on what happens with Salah. If he leaves, I expect they'll keep Gakpo, and if he stays then maybe Gakpo will go instead."
Cody Gakpo's future at Liverpool remains uncertain despite signing a new contract last summer. Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown suggests that Gakpo's fate is intrinsically linked to Mohamed Salah's decision. Gakpo's underwhelming performances this season have raised questions about whether he meets the club's standards. Brown indicates that if a substantial offer arrives from clubs like Bayern Munich, Liverpool would consider selling. However, the club is unlikely to allow multiple attacking players to depart in the same transfer window due to the instability it would create. Therefore, if Salah leaves, Liverpool will likely retain Gakpo; conversely, if Salah stays, Gakpo may be sold.
