Manchester City or Tottenham Hotspur? Cody Gakpo makes his decision and has a clear preference

  • On Saturday, Liverpool rejected a £69 million bid from Tottenham for forward Cody Gakpo, holding out for a fee between £75 million and £80 million.
  • The potential departure follows Liverpool's finalized agreement to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola for £123 million, comprising £106 million guaranteed plus £17 million in add-ons.
  • Manager Andoni Iraola continues evaluating attacking reinforcements including Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr and Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, though Gerrard warned Liverpool would be "very light centrally" if Gakpo departs.
  • Tottenham, seeking a rebuild after consecutive 17th-place finishes, has narrowed its final summer signing to either Gakpo or Iliman Ndiaye as options dwindle.
  • Tuesday's transfer deadline limits the window for resolution, with sources indicating Manchester City is Gakpo's preferred destination if he leaves Anfield before the Premier League window closes.
