Liverpool may risk losing Cody Gakpo before transfer deadline

Cody Gakpo, who has scored once and recorded an assist in Liverpool’s first two matches, is attracting interest as the transfer window nears its end. Liverpool views Gakpo as a valuable multi-functional player but is weighing potential offers alongside the arrival of other attacking options. As discussions with Manchester City heat up, the club must decide whether to approve any moves involving Gakpo. $85 million is mentioned as a potential deal, reflecting a significant profit from his initial signing for $35 million. The situation complicates further with injuries to current squad members, increasing the stakes of retaining Gakpo.
