Tottenham to accelerate Cody Gakpo interest if Liverpool sign Bradley Barcola | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur remain firmly attentive to Cody Gakpo’s situation at Liverpool and are ready to step up their pursuit once the Reds finalise a deal for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola.

Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi has prioritised strengthening his wide attacking options, and while the North Londoners have been linked with Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi, Gakpo remains a higher priority.

However, a transfer currently hinges on a delicate Premier League domino effect. Liverpool are negotiating for Barcola, who has informed PSG of his desire to leave France.

If the Reds secure the French international, they would likely need to balance their squad depth and recoup significant funds, potentially opening the door for Gakpo’s departure.

Gakpo’s valuation remains a major hurdle for Tottenham as he is contracted at Anfield until 2030. As a result, Liverpool hold strong leverage and are under no immediate pressure to sell.

Furthermore, new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is assessing his squad before approving any major departures, but at the moment, Spurs also view Liverpool’s asking price as too high.

Nevertheless, with Barcola prioritising a move to Anfield, Tottenham are poised to act as soon as Liverpool’s financial stance softens.

Should Liverpool choose to sanction a departure in the wide area to make room for new arrivals, Spurs are expected to turn their interest into a formal bid for the ‘special’ Gakpo.

They remain in talks with Manchester City over a deal for Savinho, .
