City in Shock Bid for Gakpo!
29 Aug
Summary
- Manchester City reportedly reached personal agreement with Cody Gakpo.
- Liverpool seeks replacement before sanctioning Gakpo's departure.
- Tottenham Hotspur also agreed personal terms with Gakpo in July.
Manchester City has reportedly made a serious bid for Liverpool's versatile forward, Cody Gakpo. Sources indicate that the English club has already reached a personal agreement with the Netherlands international, viewing him as a key addition to their attacking lineup. Negotiations regarding the transfer fee are currently underway between Liverpool and City.
Gakpo's ability to play on either wing or as a striker has attracted interest from manager Enzo Maresca. However, Liverpool is reluctant to part ways with the 27-year-old unless they can secure a suitable replacement first. Bradley Barcola has surfaced as a potential attacking reinforcement.
Meanwhile, other transfer developments are also in motion. Liverpool has reportedly made an offer of €58 million for Crystal Palace forward Ismaïla Sarr. Interest in Yankuba Minteh appears to have waned, with rejected bids from Liverpool and Brighton.
Adding to the complexity, Tottenham Hotspur had previously agreed personal terms with Gakpo in July. Gakpo's current contract with Liverpool extends until mid-2030, leaving his future at Anfield uncertain amid the intense transfer speculation.
