According to VoetbalPrimeur, Iraola stated during a press conference that he cannot guarantee Gakpo's future at Liverpool, citing the ongoing transfer market. The manager acknowledged Gakpo's impressive form since returning from the World Cup, describing him as "erg goed bezig" (very good) and praising his "zeer goede instelling" (very good attitude). However, Iraola refused to rule out a potential transfer, saying that the club cannot guarantee the future of any player while the transfer market is open. Liverpool is reportedly close to signing Bradley Barcola, which could potentially impact Gakpo's future at the club.
