Cody Gakpo’s Liverpool Future in Doubt After Arne Slot Exit
Cody Gakpo’s future at Liverpool has come under fresh speculation following reports from the Netherlands suggesting that the Dutch forward could be considering a move away from the club this summer.
According to reports, Gakpo is concerned about his role at Liverpool after the departure of Arne Slot, who gave him significant playing time and confidence during his tenure. The winger featured regularly under Slot and became an important part of the team’s attack.
With Andoni Iraola expected to take charge, uncertainty now surrounds several players, including Gakpo. A new manager could bring a different tactical approach, which may affect the Dutch international’s position in the squad.
Although Gakpo remains a valuable and versatile attacker, competition on the left wing is increasing. Young talents are pushing for opportunities, while Liverpool may also look to strengthen the squad further during the transfer window.

The 27-year-old signed a long-term contract extension in 2025, meaning Liverpool are under no pressure to sell. However, if a substantial offer arrives and Gakpo no longer sees himself as a key part of the project, the club could face an important decision.
For now, Liverpool’s priority will be to provide clarity on his role under the new manager as preparations for the upcoming season continue.
