Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly been left 'frustrated' by Liverpool seemingly winning the race to sign Cody Gakpo.
Talks between the Reds and PSV recently reached an advanced stage, having significantly stepped up in recent days. The ECHO understands the initial fee will be around the £37m figure with add-ons likely to take the deal well past the £40m mark.
Such news will come as a blow to United, who looked set to sign Gakpo as a long-term Cristiano Ronaldo replacement. The player himself has confirmed a deal was close last summer and that he spoke to Ten Hag "a few times".
