Cody Gakpo has become one of the biggest achievements in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The PSV winger scored 1-0 in the match against Senegal and then scored 1-1 against Ecuador, two key goals as the Oranje progressed to the Round of 16 for the first time in the group. And not only that, as Olocip’s artificial intelligence has shown, Cody Jacbo is currently the best player in the World Cup, adding to his goals the rest of the stats, such as dribbling, shots or recoveries
As always at World Cups, Jakpo’s impressive performance has so precipitated the European giants’ interest in securing his signature, that everything seems to indicate that the Dutch winger will change his mind in the winter transfer market. The first to open the door was Manchester United, who would like Jakopo to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. Although the English were close to completing the signing, Real Madrid decided to try to kidnap him there, as Ancelotti needed a winger on the right side
Manchester United put 50 million euros on the table. Initially, the figure met the claims of PSV Eindhoven, which led to the belief that signing was a matter of days. The big problem for United is that the winger has maintained his great form, which is why Real Madrid decided to move. Florentino Perez knows he may be late, but he will try to snatch the signing from the Old Trafford side by raising the bid
And it is that Cody Jacobo sees with better eyes playing in Real Madrid, the current champion of the Champions League, compared to Manchester United, who continues without raising his head and who is ahead of the European League and has no option to fight for the current one. Premier League edition
Cody Gakbo started to shine last season, when he finished his year at PSV with an impressive tally of 21 goals and 15 assists. He could only be a one-day flower, so no team has moved on, but the Dutchman has not only followed a high level, he is improving his numbers. By the time this season has passed, he already has 13 goals and 17 assists
He just needed to stand out at the Qatar World Cup in 2022 to prove he can be one of the best wingers of the next decade. Everything ended up speeding up, and what looked like a summer signing will become a winter signing, either at Manchester United, it seems, or at Real Madrid, as Florentino Perez intends
