When Gakpo talked about the process of joining Liverpool in an interview a few days ago, he said that he heard that Liverpool was interested in him and he was very calm.

Gakpo said: "I was in Dubai and my brother and my agent called me and they said Liverpool were interested in me and I thought, 'Oh, great, that's good.'"

"But I wasn't too excited because the last time a club was also interested in me, it didn't work out. So I spent another day in Dubai before heading home for Christmas. "

"The whole process was very fast, but I felt very calm inside. I knew it was the right decision. That peace was God's signal to me, telling me that this was the right choice. "

In a previous interview, Gacpo said that Manchester United was interested in signing him on the deadline of the 2022 summer window, but in the end the Red Devils chose Anthony. When the deal fell apart, he was confused.
