Cody Gakpo likely to stay at Liverpool amid transfer speculation

Speculation around Cody Gakpo's future with Liverpool continues as the transfer window approaches its close. Journalist Lewis Steele assessed the possibility of Gakpo's exit during a Media Matters podcast, indicating the forward is more likely to remain at Anfield. Despite ongoing rumors, particularly related to Liverpool's interest in PSG's Bradley Barcola, Steele believes selling Gakpo could leave the squad short of depth. He noted that while there is no concrete development on Gakpo's status, an exceptional offer could potentially alter the situation. Discussions also highlighted the need for Liverpool to balance their spending while reinforcing their attacking options under new coach Andoni Iraola.
