Manchester City Initiates Talks to Acquire Cody Gakpo from Liverpool

Manchester City has started negotiations with Liverpool to secure the signing of forward Cody Gakpo. This development comes as Liverpool evaluates its situation with the transfer window nearing its end.

Reports indicate that discussions are progressing in favor of Manchester City, which has also seen Tottenham express interest in Gakpo. Concurrently, talks regarding personal terms for the Netherlands international are ongoing.

As Liverpool prepares to sign winger Bradley Barcola from PSG for a deal potentially worth up to £123 million, they are also looking to add another winger, targeting Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace. This comes after City allowed players Savio and Omar Marmoush to join Tottenham, limiting their options on the wing.
