Liverpool rejects two 100 million euro transfer offers for Cody Gakpo

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes declined two 100 million euro transfer offers for Cody Gakpo late in the summer window. Both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur pursued the forward after reaching personal terms with the player, but Liverpool ultimately blocked the departure. The Dutchman, who scored nine goals last season, remains part of the squad under manager Andoni Iraola. Gakpo met with club owners to clear the air regarding the failed move following the decision to retain his services. He is expected to feature in the upcoming away match against Ipswich Town this Friday. The club also finalized several other deals before the window closed, including the arrival of Bradley Barcola and moves for Lucca Brughmans and Djylian N'Guessan.
