Liverpool Extends Cody Gakpo Contract Until 2028

Liverpool has confirmed that star attacker Cody Gakpo has signed a new long-term contract, extending his stay at Anfield beyond 2028. Since joining from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023, Gakpo has become a key player under managers Jürgen Klopp and Arne Slot, contributing significantly to Liverpool's Carabao Cup and Premier League title wins. At 26, Gakpo has developed his game by playing in various positions and feels at home both on and off the pitch, expressing gratitude and ambition to achieve more with the club. The new contract comes amid interest from other clubs, including a brief link to Bayern Munich, but Gakpo remains focused on Liverpool's success. Liverpool is also pursuing Newcastle striker Alexander Isak to bolster their attacking options, having reached a personal terms agreement while awaiting a transfer fee resolution. This strategic signing aims to complement Gakpo's role as Liverpool seeks to defend their Premier League title and strengthen their squad depth.
