Manchester City or Tottenham Hotspur? Cody Gakpo makes his decision and has a clear preference
On Saturday, Liverpool rejected a £69 million bid from Tottenham for forward Cody Gakpo, holding out for a fee between £75 million and £80 million.
The potential departure follows Liverpool's finalized agreement to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola for £123 million, comprising £106 million guaranteed plus £17 million in add-ons.
Manager Andoni Iraola continues evaluating attacking reinforcements including Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr and Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, though Gerrard warned Liverpool would be "very light centrally" if Gakpo departs.
Tottenham, seeking a rebuild after consecutive 17th-place finishes, has narrowed its final summer signing to either Gakpo or Iliman Ndiaye as options dwindle.
Tuesday's transfer deadline limits the window for resolution, with sources indicating Manchester City is Gakpo's preferred destination if he leaves Anfield before the Premier League window closes.
