Liverpool are not prepared to part ways with Cody Gakpo (Evening Standard).
Their current focus is on strengthening their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Liverpool are exploring a move for Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola.However, with PSG valuing the French winger at a staggering £145 million, any potential deal remains complex.
Until Liverpool can recruit top-tier attacking reinforcements, they are unwilling to even entertain talks for Gakpo.
Gakpo still has four years remaining on his contract, putting Liverpool in a strong negotiating position if their resolve is tested.
Tottenham Hotspur are eager to add firepower to their squad. Despite having spent £237 million on six new arrivals this summer, their transfer business is not yet complete.
Gakpo scored fewer than 10 goals across all competitions for the first time since 2020/21 last season.
Despite this, he has been identified by Spurs as a primary option on the left wing. He can also be deployed as a striker.
The Dutchman is currently with compatriot Virgil van Dijk at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby as the Reds continue their pre-season tour of the United States.
