Star-Studded Battle! Manchester City and Tottenham Chase Liverpool Forward

The Merseyside club are willing to let the Dutchman leave under one condition, but are demanding more than £75 million.

Details: According to information from respected insider Ekrem Konur, Manchester City and Tottenham are actively battling to sign Liverpool’s 27-year-old forward Cody Gakpo.

City manager Enzo Maresca has already made initial contact regarding a potential transfer for the player. At the same time, Tottenham are also making determined efforts to secure the signing of the Netherlands international.

However, completing a deal will be far from straightforward. Liverpool do not want to strengthen their direct Premier League rivals and are demanding more than £75 million for the forward. At the same time, a potential move for Bradley Barcola to the Merseyside club could give the green light to Gakpo’s departure.

It is worth noting that the Dutch forward made 36 Premier League appearances for Liverpool during the 2025/26 season, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value stands at €60 million.
