Liverpool Football Club is weighing the possibility of selling Cody Gakpo as the summer transfer window edges closer, a move that would free up space for new left‑wing options such as the emerging Rio Ngumoha, the recently signed Victor Muñoz, and the promising Bradley Barcola.
The potential departure is linked to a broader reshuffle after Mohamed Salah’s exit and the arrival of Victor Muñoz, which have already altered the team’s attacking balance.
Among the names circulating as possible replacements are Yankuba Minteh of Brighton, Crystal Palace’s Ismaïla Sarr, and the highly rated Enzo Fernández, while Bradley Barcola continues to be discussed as a versatile alternative on that flank.
Manchester City’s manager has indicated that the club is unlikely to part with any first‑team player to a direct rival, a stance that could shape any late‑stage maneuvering involving Gakpo.
Tottenham Hotspur is actively pursuing new signings after a sluggish start to the season, while Manchester United is looking to reinforce its left‑back position, a need that has also put Fulham and Crystal Palace on the radar of several suitors.
The transfer window’s final hours, which will close at 11 PM BST on Tuesday, are expected to see a flurry of activity not only in the men’s game but also in the Women’s Super League, where the deadline falls on Thursday, 3 September.
Final countdown
With the deadline looming, clubs across Europe are scrambling to finalize deals, and the pressure is mounting for Liverpool to decide whether to keep Gakpo or to move him on and invest in fresh talent.
