Liverpool's Stance on Gakpo
Liverpool's current preference is to keep hold of Gakpo unless a significant offer is made. The Reds would point to the current inflated market if Spurs were to make a bid, using several recent deals to justify their valuation.
Tottenham's Chances of Securing Gakpo
Tottenham's pursuit of Gakpo has been described as a 'fool's errand' by Liverpool. This means that Spurs will have to make a substantial offer for the winger, and even then, there's no guarantee of success. Liverpool would need to sign a replacement before even considering a sale of Gakpo.
Alternative Targets for Tottenham
Tottenham are also working on signing Savinho from Manchester City. However, the City board is not willing to part ways with the forward, although they could still look to sign another attacker. This means that Spurs will have to wait for City to sign a winger before they can land Savinho.
Liverpool's Transfer Plans
Liverpool are expected to place an opening offer for Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola. The France international is keen on the move, and personal terms have not been agreed. This could be a potential alternative to Gakpo for Tottenham, but it remains to be seen if they will be able to secure the signing.
Conclusion
Tottenham's pursuit of Cody Gakpo has been met with a blunt warning from Liverpool. The Reds are not willing to sell the winger unless a significant offer is made, and even then, there's no guarantee of success. Tottenham will have to make a substantial offer and wait for Liverpool to sign a replacement before even considering a sale of Gakpo.
