Overview
- Reports in mid-June say Tottenham are preparing a formal package worth around €70m to sign Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, though no bid has been lodged publicly.
- Several outlets report Gakpo has told Liverpool he wants to leave, but reputable sources also say he has not made a formal request and the accounts conflict.
- Liverpool are not actively pushing to sell but would consider offers near the £70m range for a player tied to a contract through 2030.
- Bayern Munich and Newcastle United are reported to be monitoring the situation, creating the possibility of a multi-club contest that could change other transfers in Europe.
- Gakpo’s inconsistent 2025/26 form, Mohamed Salah’s departure and the appointment of Andoni Iraola at Liverpool have increased uncertainty about his role and the club’s summer plans.
