Liverpool Targets Bournemouth Winger to Replace Potential Gakpo Exit

Liverpool has moved to sign Brazilian winger Ryan from Bournemouth to compensate for the potential departure of Dutchman Cody Gakpo to Manchester City in the closing days of the summer transfer window.

According to "TEAMtalk", Liverpool has made contact with Bournemouth regarding the possibility of signing Ryan, as the club is set to approve Gakpo's departure to Manchester City for £85 million, provided they secure a suitable replacement.

The report clarified that Liverpool was planning to move for Ryan during the upcoming summer, but recent developments regarding Gakpo's future could push the club to accelerate its efforts and negotiate with Bournemouth during the current period.

Ryan has a release clause in his contract with Bournemouth worth £130 million, but it will not come into effect until 2027. Meanwhile, the English club is maintaining a strong stance regarding the possibility of the player's departure in the final days of the transfer window.
