Liverpool Stand Firm as Tottenham Target Cody Gakpo

Whether the winger moves will be decided by linked signings and funding that could only unlock a late-window deal.

Overview

  • Reports on Sunday say Liverpool are not actively looking to sell Cody Gakpo and value him at about £70m to £75m, giving the club clear leverage.
  • Liverpool have Gakpo on a long-term contract to 2030 and want to recruit like-for-like wide players before sanctioning any departure.
  • The Reds are pursuing Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye as possible replacements, and landing one or both would materially change Gakpo’s availability.
  • Tottenham remain interested but face their own constraints because they have spent heavily this window and may need player sales or other market moves to raise funds.
  • The transfer now looks contingent and time-sensitive, with progress depending on multiple clubs completing linked deals rather than a single straightforward sale.
