Mo Stewart, a journalist on The Late Challenge podcast, indicated that Liverpool would require an unreasonable transfer fee to part with Cody Gakpo to Manchester City. As of now, City has shown interest in the winger following his performance in Liverpool's recent match against Newcastle. Liverpool remains focused on acquiring wide attacking players as the transfer window progresses, making a deal for Gakpo appear improbable. Stewart noted that the interest has been communicated through Gakpo's representatives rather than directly to the club.
- •Manchester City has expressed interest in Cody Gakpo.
- •Liverpool is prioritizing acquiring wide attacking players this transfer window.
- •No direct transfers between Liverpool and Manchester City since Raheem Sterling in 2015.
- •Liverpool may dismiss Gakpo deal unless offered a very high fee.

"Journalist and The Late Challenge podcast's Mo Stewart believes it would take "silly money" from Manchester City to persuade Liverpool to sell Cody Gakpo at this stage of the transfer window. Liverpool's priority for the remainder of the window remains wide attacking players, making a deal to sell Gakpo seemingly unlikely. "It's notable that they have expressed interest through Cody Gakpo's people rather than coming to the club," Stewart told BBC Radio Merseyside.
