Manchester City have begun discussions with Liverpool regarding the potential signing of striker Cody Gakpo. The Dutch forward's future with the Merseyside club is expected to be a major talking point as the transfer window nears its conclusion. The 27-year-old has garnered significant interest from multiple clubs, with City and Tottenham Hotspur expressing concrete interest, though City is reportedly Gakpo's preferred destination if he departs Liverpool before the transfer deadline on Tuesday.
City made initial contact with Liverpool about a move on Saturday evening. The move comes after Liverpool agreed to sign French winger Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain in a deal reportedly worth up to £123 million. However, Liverpool is said to prefer signing another forward before confirming Gakpo's departure this summer. The club is interested in Brighton's Yankuba Minteh and Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr among others.
Gakpo joined Liverpool from his youth club, PSV Eindhoven, in January 2023. Since then, he has scored 33 goals in 91 Premier League appearances. On Saturday, he assisted Alexander Isak's goal as Liverpool drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at Anfield, following a draw at Newcastle the previous week.
