Overview
- Multiple transfer reporters said on Monday that Tottenham have opened talks with Liverpool and are preparing a significant formal offer for Cody Gakpo.
- Gakpo’s strong start to the 2026 World Cup has intensified interest in him and helped prompt Spurs to pursue the 27-year-old more aggressively.
- Liverpool have signed Víctor Muñoz this month but remain publicly reluctant to sell Gakpo because they want cover in attack and prefer to secure a replacement before sanctioning an exit.
- Media reports place a likely transfer range around roughly £60m to £75m and say Tottenham have offered long-term personal terms, although no fee or deal has been confirmed by either club.
- What to watch next: whether Liverpool accelerate their own striker recruitment, how high Tottenham are willing to bid, and any official club statements that would confirm a transfer request or agreement.
