Spurs, who signed Savio and Marmoush, are also interested, but it will likely come down to whoever pays the £80m Liverpool are asking for to give the green light to a sale. [?] NEW: Tottenham and Manchester City continue to track Cody Gakpo and Liverpool would seek at least £80m to sanction his departure.

They’ve been the one that have shown the most concrete interest in the Dutchman.” Gakpo has been the Man of the Match in Liverpool’s first two games of the season, which both ended in a 2-2 draw.

Are Liverpool making a mistake in letting Gakpo go? I’ve argued several times that Liverpool should not sell Gakpo, but it’s not that simple. ??

Cody Gakpo’s future will be decided after today’s game with key meetings set to take place. The Reds will also have more than enough depth to let Gakpo leave now that Barcola’s move to Liverpool is agreed and set to be announced.
