Cody Gakpo's proposed transfer from Liverpool to Manchester City is hanging by a thread. The Merseysiders are ready to retain the Dutch winger if they can't secure a replacement.
Insider Fabrizio Romano has shared the latest insights:
Liverpool have informed Cody Gakpo's representatives that the club is willing to keep the player if they cannot find a suitable replacement. Everything hinges on the situation with Ismaila Sarr.
According to Romano, Gakpo had agreed terms with Manchester City as recently as Saturday. Crucially, the player himself is not pushing for a move and would be pleased to remain at Liverpool if the club opts to halt the transfer.
Thus, the fate of the deal with Manchester City now rests on Liverpool's ability to address the void left by Gakpo.
