Liverpool Demand €60m for Cody Gakpo as Barcelona Deal Hinges on Dutchman's Price
Liverpool have set their price for Cody Gakpo at around €60m, or approximately £52m, as the winger's future at the club hangs in the balance. The Reds are reportedly open to selling the Dutchman, who joined the club in 2023, following interest from Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur.
The asking price comes on the back of Anthony Gordon joining Barcelona for €80m, with Liverpool valuing Gakpo as a more experienced and proven player. This valuation suggests that Liverpool are not willing to let Gakpo go on the cheap, despite a difficult campaign last season.
Gakpo's future has been uncertain this summer, with reported interest in Bradley Barcola threatening his place in the squad. The potential arrival of Barcola, a left-winger, increases competition for Gakpo's spot, particularly after a downturn in form last season.
The Reds have been chasing left-wingers to address the lack of pace from wide areas last season, following Mohamed Salah's exit. Gakpo's performances have been affected by this, and his sale could be a casualty of Liverpool's attempts to revamp their squad.
Liverpool's no.18 joined the club in January 2023 and was a key player in the Premier League title win in 2025. Gakpo scored 10 times and assisted another four in the league, while boasting 18 goals across all competitions.
The high asking price for Gakpo could still prove to be beyond what anyone puts up, particularly if Barcelona are unable to meet Liverpool's demands. The Reds will be keen to get a good deal for the Dutchman, with his future set to play a central part in their busy summer transfer window.
Gakpo's future will be one to watch in the coming weeks, as Liverpool continue to try to get Andoni Iraola's first squad right. The Reds are facing a number of challenges in the transfer market, but their valuation of Gakpo suggests they are willing to hold out for a good price for the winger.
