The attacker that Manchester City want to bolster their squad looks to have been revealed

Manchester City are eager to strengthen their squad before the summer transfer window closes. The club is in search of an additional midfielder and a new attacking option. According to reports, Liverpool's Cody Gakpo is the top choice for Manchester City. Financial Times has revealed that City is close to finalizing a £85 million offer for the Dutch forward.

Gakpo has already agreed to personal terms with City and his move to the Etihad Stadium is contingent on Liverpool agreeing to a replacement for him before the transfer deadline. City's pursuit of Gakpo is driven by his experience, versatility, and proven track record at Liverpool. The 27-year-old has scored 51 goals and provided 24 assists in 182 appearances for Liverpool.

His versatility allows him to play across the front line, either as a winger or a forward. Gakpo's arrival would boost the competition within Manchester City's squad, raising the standard for players to perform and secure their positions. Manchester City's interest in Cody Gakpo indicates their determination to address their attacking needs and compete at the highest level.
