Overview
- Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi is reported to be a strong admirer of Cody Gakpo and the club is preparing a substantial offer to Liverpool, with media estimates in a wide range up to roughly £73.5m.
- Liverpool signed Victor Munoz in mid‑June, a move that commentators say could make Gakpo surplus on the left but does not by itself mean the club will sell him.
- Long‑term Hugo Ekitike injury has left Liverpool light on centre‑forward cover, and club sources indicate that shortage may block a Gakpo sale unless another striker is recruited.
- Gakpo remains under contract until June 2030, giving Liverpool bargaining power and allowing the club to demand a fee aligned with its valuation rather than accepting low offers.
- No formal transfer has been completed and talks appear exploratory; a sale would reshape Tottenham's wide options and could prompt Liverpool to move again in the transfer market for forward reinforcements.
