Before PSV released their statement, it was understood Liverpool were in advanced talks with PSV about the transfer as they looked to bring in another attacking player following long-term injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota.
The transfer window opens on Sunday January 1, 2023 for clubs in England and Scotland and if all the necessary paperwork is completed then Gakpo could be in line for a Liverpool debut on January 2 against Brentford.
