Gakpo’s future at Liverpool is understood to be somewhat in doubt this summer following a downturn in form, but the Dutch international still has fans in the Premier League and across Europe.
Our understanding as of this morning is that Spurs are leading the race to sign Gakpo and are planning internally to offer the 27-year-old a package worth around €70 million.
Tottenham, Newcastle and Bayern Munich are eyeing Kodi Gakpo
No offers have been made so far, but one source says they are “considering it”, with Newcastle and Bayern Munich also reportedly monitoring the player’s situation.
Gakpo was highlighted as a target for Bayern last summer, with Bayern then prioritizing a move for former Liverpool teammate Luis Diaz, but the Bundesliga giants remain keen to add depth to their attack.
Vincent Kompany’s side have also shown interest in Marcus Rashford and Gabriel Martinelli, but it is worth noting that they have also missed out on Anthony Gordon, who recently moved to Barcelona.
Gakpo has yet to make a decision on his future and is not expected to push for a move away from Liverpool, despite some reports that he is worried about the sacking of manager Arne Slott.

Talks could take place later in the summer after Gakpo plays for the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup, but Tottenham are expected to make a formal approach soon.
Should Liverpool let Kodi Gakpo leave?
Gakpo was, in some ways, a very good player for LFC, but perhaps nothing more.
It’s clear that the former PSV man has talent, but if enough offers come in, Liverpool could do well to land him.
Tottenham are in dire need of changes after finishing 17th in the Premier League in successive seasons, and Gakpo looks like the man who can help them move up the table.
Gakpo has scored 50 goals in 180 games for Liverpool, suggesting he could thrive at a club where standards and expectations are not as high.
