Tottenham Interested In Cody Gakpo as Liverpool Refuse To Open Sale Talks

Liverpool say they will not open negotiations to avoid weakening their attack, with reports placing any asking price around £60–£70m.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets, citing Fabrizio Romano, reported early in July that Tottenham Hotspur have a genuine interest in Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo.
  • Liverpool have publicly closed the door on a summer exit for Gakpo and are not engaging in negotiations as they assess attacking options under new coach Andoni Iraola.
  • Journalists say the situation could change if Tottenham make a formal proposal that meets Liverpool’s valuation, but no bid has been submitted and Gakpo has not pushed to leave.
  • Sources and market commentators place Liverpool’s likely asking price in the roughly £60–£70m range, reflecting inflated fees for wide players and Gakpo’s long-term contract.
  • Tottenham’s heavy summer spending and Liverpool’s need for replacement wingers mean any transfer would hinge on Spurs’ willingness to submit a significant offer and Liverpool securing cover.
