**Liverpool are set for a busy end to the 2026 summer transfer window.**
As we edge closer to deadline day, the Reds are set to be active in terms of incomings and outgoings.
Talks are being held with PSG for the transfers of Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, while Liverpool are pondering their next move after having two bids rejected for Yankuba Minteh.
Those moves could have serious implications for Cody Gakpo’s future, with the Dutch international heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
And now, if reports from the Netherlands are to be believed, Manchester City have declared their interest in signing him from Liverpool.
City are set to lose both Savinho and Omar Marmoush to Tottenham, so they are in need of attacking reinforcements.
Mounir Boualin of Soccer News NL reports that the Cityzens have informed Gakpo that they want to sign him, while Tottenham are plotting an official offer.
He wrote on X: “Tottenham Hotspur is preparing a new bid for Cody Gakpo. However, extra interest has emerged for the Oranje international.
“Manchester City has now also shown interest in the former PSV player. Liverpool FC doesn’t want to just go along with it.”
If Liverpool sign multiple attackers, the possibility of letting Gakpo leave increases. And now, with Manchester City and Tottenham looking to pip one another for his signature, Liverpool could really set off a bidding war and command a huge fee for the player if they decide to sell him.
