PSV name price for Newcastle United and Manchester United ‘target’

Gakpo said: “As it stands now, I will still be playing for PSV after the winter break. But as I said before the start of the World Cup, we will see what will happen.”
The Dutch club have now reportedly named their price for the winger - and unsurprisingly it would take a club-record fee for PSV to consider selling Gakpo. Sporting director Marcel Brands, formerly of Everton, said: “Only ten to twelve clubs can afford Cody Gakpo in January.
“Let’s see if it will happen – it has to be PSV’s record sale, and also the right bid for Cody’s plans. We still have no official bids. Let’s see if some club will pay big money in January.”
