Liverpool could have to make important attacking decisions this summer, with Football Insider suggesting Codi Gakpo could be allowed to leave if the club can secure a high-profile replacement on the left.
The Dutch forward continues to receive support from head coach Arne Slott, but his consistent form this season has sparked debate within the squad about the long-term balance of the squad.

Gakpo’s poor performance this season has left his future uncertain as Liverpool consider their future options.
Kodi Gakpo has been inconsistent for Liverpool this season
This season has been a testing season for the Dutch attacker. His seven goals in 34 appearances did not live up to Liverpool’s expectations as an attacking player, especially in a system that relies heavily on wide forwards to make decisive contributions in the final third.
Comparisons with former left-sided attackers such as Luis Diaz’s stable performances are drawing attention.
Supporters have grown restless at times, questioning whether Gakpo can consistently achieve the elite level required to continue their title challenge.
Reds remain in the market for offensive reinforcements
Mr. Slott continues to demonstrate his confidence in Mr. Gakpo through regular selections and his confidence in all his contributions.
His work rate, pressing and link-up play are still valued within tactical structures.
Despite this, Liverpool’s reinforcements are reportedly assessing the possibility of upgrading the left winger.
If it becomes possible to sign a talented player, Gakpo may be sacrificed to maintain the balance of the team.
One name that has always been linked with a move to Liverpool is Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon.
Gakpo must prove himself to the club hierarchy between now and the end of the season.
