Tottenham Hotspur is preparing a substantial bid for Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, with reports suggesting the north London club could table an offer reaching as high as £73.5 million.
De Zerbi, who was appointed Tottenham head coach on March 31, 2026, on a five-year deal, is turning his attention to squad reshaping after successfully navigating the club through a fraught end to the 2025-26 Premier League season.
What’s on the table
Reports from early to mid-June 2026 indicate Tottenham has opened talks around an offer ranging from £60 million to €85 million for Gakpo. The package being discussed reportedly includes a long-term contract for Gakpo that could extend until 2031, along with a prominent role in De Zerbi’s system. De Zerbi has been described as a long-time admirer of the Dutch international.
No formal transfer has been executed as of late June 2026.
