Real Madrid and Premier League clubs monitoring Cody Gakpo

Real Madrid are monitoring PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo. According to The Athletic, Los Blancos are one of the teams that are following the development of the PSV winger, who made his international debut with the Netherlands just over a year ago. It could be an option for the future, as Gakpo, despite his versatility, operates mainly on the left flank of the attack, where Vinícius plays and is expected to be for a long time to come. Madrid’s plan may be to keep an open line of communication in case the player fits into the club’s plans at some point.

The 23-year-old has a good reputation in the Premier League and PSV had been expecting a move for the promising Dutchman last summer, but Manchester United finally opted to sign Antony. Leeds United were another suitor, but the Yorkshire side’s poor start to the season has left the player questioning whether they are the right destination for him. Arsenal, according to the report, would also be interested.

Gakpo has a contract until 2026 and PSV will be asking for at least 50 million euros. The player has a market value of 30 million euros, according to Olocip’s valuation, which places him as the most decisive player of this season in the Eredivisie, with a value generated for his team of 7.16. Gakpo is the top scorer in the Dutch league with nine goals in nine games and has another three goals in the Europa League. He made his international debut in June 2021 and has already played nine games and scored three goals for the Netherlands.
