Manchester City have opened negotiations with Liverpool over a potential move for Dutch forward Cody Gakpo as the transfer deadline approaches. Sky Sports reports that City are exploring a deal for the 27-year-old after allowing Savinho and Omar Marmoush to move to Tottenham, while Liverpool’s imminent signing of Bradley Barcola has increased uncertainty over Gakpo’s future.
Gakpo, who joined Liverpool from PSV in 2023, has reportedly attracted interest from both City and Tottenham. Recent reports indicate that the Dutchman is leaning towards a move to the Etihad, with City discussions understood to be progressing around a possible £85m deal.
Liverpool are believed to be considering the sale as they strengthen their attack, particularly after agreeing a deal worth up to £123m for PSG winger Bradley Barcola. The Reds could use proceeds from Gakpo’s departure to pursue another attacking player before the transfer window closes.
