“PSV and LFC have reached an agreement on the proposed transfer of Cody Gakpo,” said a PSV statement from Monday.

PSV has declined to publicly disclose the transfer costs involved, although general manager Marcel Brands has revealed that they have acquired a club record value. The transfer fee is thought to be between £35 million and £45 million. By way of @Fabrizio Romano, he stated: “We are not going to male any announcements about the transfer fee for Cody Gakpo deal but it’s a record transfer for PSV.”
Before PSV issued their statement, it was known that Liverpool and PSV were in advanced negotiations over the deal as Liverpool sought to add another attacking player in the wake of the long-term injuries suffered by Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota.
According to a statement from the Eredivisie side, “the PSV management concluded the discussions on Boxing Day and granted Gakpo permission to travel to England.”
Gakpo has been in excellent form for PSV this season, contributing 12 assists and nine goals in 14 league appearances.
