Cody Gakpo remains at Liverpool after transfer to Manchester City falls through

John Aldridge commented on Cody Gakpo's decision to stay at Liverpool after a potential move to Manchester City did not happen as the summer transfer window closed. Liverpool rejected an £80 million bid from City, which followed allegations of the club's financial misconduct leading to possible extensive punishments. Aldridge believes Gakpo avoided significant complications by not joining City amid these off-field issues. Unfortunately for Gakpo, an injury sustained during international duty may prevent him from participating in the upcoming match against City at Anfield.
