On August 25 Beijing time, according to British media outlet The Mirror, Manchester City have joined the race for Gakpo and are attempting to beat rivals Tottenham Hotspur to sign the Dutch forward.
In recent days, Tottenham have been one of Gakpo's potential suitors. They previously made an offer to sign the Dutch international, but it was rejected by Liverpool. However, the player himself is willing to join Tottenham. At the same time, Manchester City also want to sign Gakpo.
Previously, reports indicated that Liverpool's asking price for Gakpo was at least £70 million. In 2023, Gakpo joined Liverpool from Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven. He has made 181 appearances for the Reds so far and scored 31 goals. His contract with Liverpool runs until 2030, and Reds head coach Iraola is said to be a big admirer of him.
