Urgent! Today's match will decide whether Liverpool star leaves the club
Cody Gakpo could be entering his final hours as a Liverpool player.
Details: According to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, Cody Gakpo's future is set to be decided after Liverpool's match against Nottingham Forest today, with key meetings scheduled to take place once the game is over.
Manchester City remain heavily involved in negotiations for the Dutch winger and continue to explore the possibility of completing a late move. Tottenham are also still firmly in the race and, according to Romano, have been working on Gakpo's signing since July.
However, Liverpool's position remains crucial. The Merseyside club are not prepared to sanction Gakpo's departure unless they can secure a top-level replacement for the 27-year-old forward. That condition could determine whether negotiations with Manchester City or Tottenham progress to the decisive stage before the transfer window closes.
Gakpo remains a Liverpool player and is part of the squad at the start of the 2026/27 campaign, meaning today's Premier League fixture could become an important moment in the transfer saga. The meetings planned after the final whistle are now expected to provide greater clarity over whether he stays at Anfield or completes a late move.
It is worth noting that Gakpo made 36 Premier League appearances for Liverpool in the 2025/26 season, scoring 7 goals and providing 5 assists. Transfermarkt currently values the Netherlands international at €60 million.
