Liverpool could be open to selling Cody Gakpo this summer, but only if they manage to bring in two new wingers before the transfer window closes in eight days.
The Reds are keen to avoid weakening their attacking options and will reportedly only consider Gakpo’s departure if suitable replacements are secured.
Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool’s main target as they look to strengthen their wide positions. With the transfer deadline approaching, the club is expected to step up its efforts to bring in new attacking players.
Tottenham Hotspur have been interested in Gakpo for some time, with reports claiming the club reached a verbal agreement with the Dutch forward over personal terms in July.
However, Spurs could now face serious competition from Manchester City, who have reportedly opened talks with Gakpo’s representatives.
Gakpo’s own decision will also be crucial. While the 26-year-old will have to consider the offers on the table, Liverpool’s plans for their winger positions could ultimately influence whether he stays at Anfield or looks for a move elsewhere.
For Liverpool, selling Gakpo without bringing in replacements would be a major risk. Arne Slot needs enough quality and depth in attack to compete across multiple competitions, so the club appears determined to strengthen first before allowing the forward to leave.
With just eight days left in the window, the situation could change quickly. Tottenham and Manchester City are both keeping an eye on Gakpo, while Liverpool continue their search for new wingers. The next few days could decide whether the Dutchman remains at Anfield or becomes one of the biggest names to move before deadline day.
