Tottenham launches a bid of €85M for a top striker

Tottenham wants to shake up the summer transfer market with a high-impact operation. The London club is working on a proposal close to 85 million euros for Cody Gakpo, an attacker from Liverpool and one of the names that most excites Roberto De Zerbi to lead his new offensive project. The sporting direction understands that the team needs more firepower, more mobility in the final meters, and a player capable of playing both inside and outside without losing presence in the area. In that profile, the Dutch international fits almost perfectly.

Cody Gakpo's situation at Anfield has changed in recent weeks. The forward had a very close relationship with Arne Slot, and the departure of the coach has opened an emotional and sporting gap in his future. Although Liverpool does not have an urgent need to sell, the player would be willing to listen to proposals if an ambitious project appears, with immediate prominence and a clear plan to compete in the Premier League. This is where Tottenham comes in strongly, seeing this as an opportunity to make a real competitive leap.

Tottenham prepares 85 million bid for Cody Gakpo

Roberto De Zerbi has been following Cody Gakpo for a while. It's not a sudden interest or a last-minute alternative. The Italian coach values his power, striking ability, reading of spaces, and his ability to link up with attacking midfielders and deep-lying full-backs. In the new Tottenham, the Dutch forward could have a central role, not only as a left winger but also as a second striker or a mobile reference in more demanding matches.

The figure being discussed, those 85 million euros, reflects both the player's level and the difficulty of negotiating with Liverpool. At Anfield, they know that Cody Gakpo still has value, has experience in the Premier League, and is still at an ideal age to perform for several seasons. That's why any offer must be strong from the start. Tottenham wants to avoid a drawn-out negotiation that could allow other European clubs to enter, especially if the player confirms his willingness to move elsewhere.

Liverpool reluctant to let go of Cody Gakpo

Andoni Iraola's team faces a delicate scenario. Losing Cody Gakpo would mean parting with a versatile, proven attacker with room to continue growing. However, an 85 million euro offer can alter any initial stance. The Reds will have to decide whether to prioritize keeping an important piece or to take advantage of a lucrative sale to finance new signings during a squad overhaul.

An 85 million operation that could define the summer

For Tottenham, the signing would have both sporting and symbolic value. After an inconsistent period, the club needs to send a strong message: it wants to compete ambitiously and not settle for minor tweaks. Cody Gakpo represents precisely that kind of move. He is a player with a name, international experience, and the qualities to become an offensive reference from day one.

The key will be De Zerbi's ability to convince the player and the financial strength of the offer. If Tottenham puts 85 million euros on the table, Liverpool will have to listen. And if Cody Gakpo decides that his time at Anfield is over after Slot's departure, the London club could secure one of the biggest market coups. Tottenham is already moving, and this time with an ambition that could completely change its attack.
