Liverpool's Cody Gakpo has officially submitted a transfer request, indicating he does not foresee a future at the club following Arne Slot's departure. The 27-year-old Dutch forward concluded a difficult domestic campaign on June 5, 2026, with seven goals and five assists in 36 Premier League appearances. His performance often drew criticism, contributing to the team's fifth-place league finish.

Atletico Madrid has emerged as the primary club showing interest, seeking a long-term replacement for Antoine Griezmann. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur has also reportedly initiated efforts to convince Gakpo of a move, seeing him as a potential upgrade for their squad.
