Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Friday that Tottenham have opened formal contact with Liverpool and submitted an opening offer of about £60 million for Cody Gakpo.
- Journalists with direct sources say Gakpo is receptive to a move and has already held talks with Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi.
- Liverpool’s stance remains cautious: the club values Gakpo closer to £60–70 million and will only sanction a departure once suitable wingers are signed.
- Reporters including Fabrizio Romano, Joost Blaauwhof and Florian Plettenberg describe negotiations as concrete or ‘agreement in principle’ in places, but no official deal or personal terms have been confirmed.
- If completed, the transfer would trigger linked business for Liverpool — notably moves for Bradley Barcola or Ibrahim Mbaye — and could reshape playing time for forwards at both clubs.
