The
statement
added
that
both
clubs
would
not
make
an
announcement
on
the
fee,
but
general
manager
Marcel
Brands
did
said
they
have
sold
Gakpo
in
a
record
transfer
fee,
which
surpasses
the
sale
of
Hirving
Lozano
to
Napoli
for
a
reported
€45m.
Should
a
deal
be
completed,
Gakpo
will
provide
competition
in
the
forward
line
for
Jurgen
Klopp’s
team,
who
are
currently
without
injured
pair
Luis
Diaz
and
Diogo
Jota.
He
has
scored
55
goals
for
PSV
in
his
159
appearances
since
making
his
debut
in
2018.
The
23-year-old
has
also
captained
the
dutch
side
and
will
be
looking
to
replicate
his
form
in
England.
He
is
set
to
travel
to
Liverpool
to
undergo
the
medical
and
will
be
available
from
new
year’s
day.
Liverpool
are
currently
6th
in
the
Premier
League
table
as
they
look
to
rescue
their
season
after
an
underwhelming
first
few
months.
