Overview
- Tottenham held exploratory talks with Liverpool on Tuesday over a possible move for Cody Gakpo, with manager Roberto De Zerbi reported to be personally interested.
- Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool have not yet decided on Gakpo’s future and are not currently opening the door to his exit.
- Multiple reports say Liverpool would only consider selling for a substantial fee, widely quoted around or above £65 million, and Spurs are reportedly reluctant to pay that level.
- Liverpool have already signed Victor Munoz and are linked with Yan Diomande, creating fresh competition on the left wing that could limit Gakpo’s starts despite his contract through 2030.
- Gakpo’s strong early World Cup form and his stated desire for regular first‑team football increase urgency for both player and club and mean any move would affect Liverpool’s recruitment plans this summer.
