‘If Man Utd ask, I will think about it’ – Cody Gakpo drops HUGE transfer hint as Holland World Cup star eyes £65m move
CODY GAKPO says he would consider joining Manchester United in January.
The Holland star revealed the Red Devils are yet to make any contact over a possible move after SunSport revealed United are readying a bid.
The PSV Eindhoven attacker has lit up the World Cup, scoring three goals in four games ahead of facing Argentina in the quarter-finals.
United snubbed a summer deal for the 23-year-old after opting to buy Ajax star Anthony for £85.5million instead.
Speaking about the failed summer move Gakpo, 23, said: “That was a tough period.
“I learned from that. I’m going to do it differently. What comes, that comes.
“I thought about Manchester United, but when that didn’t happen, I couldn’t remember. And I started to doubt. Leeds United did come. Should I go there?
“Now I wait for everything. I haven’t heard from Manchester United yet. When they come, I’ll think about it. I also seek the help of God in these decisions.”
Ahead of travelling to Qatar, Gakpo has bagged nine goals and 12 assists in just 14 Eredivisie games
PSV want at least £50m for their academy graduate who has already hit 12 goals and 14 assists in all competitions this season.
BETTING SPECIAL – BEST BETTING APPS FOR THE WORLD CUP
Gakpo has a contract until 2026 with his boyhood club, but has assurances he will be allowed to leave if their asking price is met.
The Holland star was set for a deadline day move to Leeds in the summer with the club’s transfer chief Victor Orta flying to Eindhoven on a private jet only for PSV to block the deal at the last minute.
Everton, Southampton and West Ham have also shown an interest previously.
