Arsenal Given Major Boost as Manchester City Close in on Cody Gakpo

Manchester City have opened talks with Liverpool as Tottenham prepare a new bid, with the transfer race for Cody Gakpo set to go down to the wire.

  • Manchester City has entered the race for Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, initiating a transfer battle with Tottenham Hotspur in the final days of the transfer window.
  • After losing Savio and Omar Marmoush to Tottenham, City is short on the wings, prompting the club to target Gakpo as an immediate replacement.
  • Liverpool is closing a deal for Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola worth up to £120 million, a move that could make Gakpo's sale easier to stomach if the price is right.
  • City opened negotiations with Liverpool, but Tottenham remains in the conversation and is preparing a new bid as nothing is finalized before the window closes.
  • Head coach Andoni Iraola stated on Thursday he could not guarantee Gakpo would stay, though the forward has started both matches under the Spaniard this season.
