Sky Sports: Cody Gakpo could cost Liverpool a total of just £45m (reliability: 4 stars)

 when the January transfer window reopens.

's side will pay an initial fee of £35 million for the Dutchman with a potential £10 million in add-ons.

Therefore, the 23-year-old forward could cost Liverpool a total of just £45 million which probably sounds like a total steal in the current transfer market.

How come United paid £86m for Antony but Liverpool get Gakpo for £37m? Explained

They paid £86m for the Brazilian. This December, 

 will splash less than half of that amount on Gakpo.

Does this suggest that the Brazilian is superior? Or could it be Liverpool's ability to negotiate or something else? We provide answers.

The Reds have a reputation of not overpaying for players, bar Darwin Nunez. They tend to get the best out of a deal. The Reds paid £27m for Thiago, got Fabinho for £44m and coughed out only £37m for Luis Diaz.

The fact that the deal for Gakpo, the club's second record sale, only yielded £37m says a lot about PSV's businesses. Hirving Lozano joined Napoli in 2019 for a little over £40m while Memphis Depay, Steven Bergwijn and others left for far less.  

: Although Gakpo and Antony are alike and play on the flanks, Antony's kind is uncommon. He is a left-footed right winger who loves to hug the wings. In contrast, a right-footed left winger like Gakpo is not that much of a rarity. He is very much similar to Rashford, Sancho and Elanga. 

 Gakpo seemed to be the one pushing for a move to the Premier League. He once openly declared his interest to join United. If he was indeed good, top clubs would be all over him. His numbers in the Eredivisie could be flattery to deceive. Depay, for instance, flourished in the Netherlands but didn't cut it in the Premier League.

Ten Hag before Gakpo's Liverpool move: We need a striker that brings quality, not problems

said: "We have lost a striker so we need to get a striker in.

"But he has to be right one who brings quality into team not just adding to squad. The only causes problems. The criteria is high here at Man Utd."

 was confirmed. Man United was linked with the Dutchman last summer.

The Red Devils face Nottingham Forest today with Anthony Martial as their sole recognised striker following Ronaldo's departure.

please stop this Gakpo's news, it is already a gone case

Utd Latest

I strongly disagree. Gakpo was so desperate to join until the last minute. He turned down an offer from Leeds to join United for €45 million. But as always, we splashed a ridiculous  amount on a one-goal wonder "showboat" instead.

FDJ made it clear from day 1. He never wanted to join United.

Mo Gunz

If he was so desperate to join United as you say why is he at Liverpool??? Let me tell you, he obviously wasn't desperate to join United!

Memphis

I think Holland players won't want to join Man Utd.  1) LVG,  2) Virgil 
Remember the other Holland Player who reject to join us after LVG advice to him?

United We need!

Sinple. He obviously lost faith and felt let down by ETH favoring Antony over him.

Plus, Liverpool and ECL football were not in the picture back then..

He felt let down by ETH for taking Antony one of his Ajax players instead of him??? Please stop talking shit!!!

Let's discuss this again towards the end of the season and see who's really talking shit.

Gakpo will finish the season netting 10 goals at least. While the "showboat" not exceeding 5..

You want to discuss a topic that was brought up yesterday  at the end of the season??? When the entire fan base has moved on from this except you??? You the one that brought up Antony genius... I'm not even talking about him 😂🤦

Another FDJ go to hell! We'll still finish ahead of you.
