Manchester: Manchester City have officially opened negotiations with Liverpool to sign Netherlands international striker Cody Gakpo. Liverpool are carefully assessing the situation as the offer comes in the final stages of the transfer window, which closes on Tuesday.
According to Thai News Agency, a source revealed to Sky Sports News that a transfer deal for the forward is progressing towards Manchester City, despite Tottenham Hotspur also showing interest. Furthermore, negotiations regarding personal terms with the 26-year-old are underway simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are close to sealing a deal for French attacker Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of up to £106 million, potentially rising to £123 million (including add-ons), a key reason why the Reds are willing to consider any offer for Gakpo.
