Andoni Iraola has decided whether he will let Cody Gakpo leave Anfield this summer, while Liverpool are preparing a stunning new proposal for top target Yan Diomande, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Gakpo<\/a> has been in fine form for the Netherlands at the World Cup, having registered two goals and an assist during their 5-1 thrashing of Sweden on Saturday. That performance will likely have increased his transfer value amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n We revealed on Monday that Tottenham have opened talks over signing Gakpo<\/a> instead of Manchester City\u2019s Savinho, and Liverpool\u2019s stance has now emerged\u2026<\/p>\n Iraola makes Gakpo sale decision<\/p>\n New Liverpool<\/a> boss Iraola has a \u2018clear plan\u2019 to keep the Dutch winger and wants to \u2018give him the chance to shine\u2019 next term, Football Insider<\/a> claim.<\/p>\n Liverpool will only sell Gakpo if a \u2018big offer\u2019 arrives, as they are already slightly short in wide areas. Separate reports have placed his transfer value at the \u00a370million mark, suggesting how much Spurs will need to offer to agree a deal.<\/p>\n Liverpool are not \u2018actively\u2019 looking to offload Gakpo as Iraola is a fan of him.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old is aiming for a \u2018bigger role\u2019 at Anfield, despite the arrival of Spanish winger Victor Munoz. Gakpo could help out Alexander Isak at centre-forward while Hugo Ekitike recovers from Achilles surgery.<\/p>\n Want more breaking news and transfer lines from original sources?

Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schafer supposedly has an \u2018agreement\u2019 in place with Red Bull chief Jurgen Klopp not to sell Diomande for any price this summer.<\/p>\n Hijack possible<\/p>\n Liverpool have already beaten Newcastle to Munoz and Ekitike over the past year, while also snaring Isak from the Magpies, and there could be a repeat this summer.<\/p>\n Newcastle have been described as long-term admirers of AZ midfield prodigy Kees Smit by The Telegraph\u2019s Luke Edwards, but they have been warned to watch out for Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n
