Liverpool may let Gakpo go if suitable attackers are secured before window closes

In Liverpool's pre-season match against Como, Dutch forward Cody Gakpo opened the scoring and set up Jeremy Jacquet before halftime, demonstrating his continued form after a strong World Cup. Despite his performance, speculation about his future intensified, with Tottenham Hotspur identified as a primary target. According to a report, new head coach Andoni Iraola would accept Gakpo's exit only if the club brings in adequate attacking cover before the transfer deadline at the end of August.

Liverpool is also linked with Paris Saint-Germain wingers Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye as possible replacements. Sources cite a £70m valuation for Gakpo, a significant increase from the £44m fee paid in late 2022, making the potential sale financially attractive. The club’s willingness to part with the striker depends on the success of these incoming deals.
