Spurs have been linked with Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi, but Gakpo is a higher priority.
However, a transfer currently hinges on a delicate Premier League domino effect. Liverpool are negotiating for Barcola, who has informed PSG of his desire to leave France.
If the Reds sign the French international, they would likely need to balance their squad depth and recoup significant funds, potentially opening the door for Gakpo’s departure.
Gakpo’s valuation remains a major hurdle for Tottenham as he is contracted at Anfield until 2030. As a result, Liverpool hold strong leverage and are under no immediate pressure to sell.
New Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is assessing his squad before approving any major departures. Spurs also view Liverpool’s asking price as too high.
With Barcola prioritising a move to Anfield, Tottenham are poised to act as soon as Liverpool’s financial stance softens.
If Liverpool choose to sanction a departure in the wide area to make room for new arrivals, Spurs are expected to turn their interest into a formal bid for the ‘special‘ Gakpo.
They are in talks over a deal for Savinho, who has informed Manchester City of his intention to leave in search of regular game time.
