UMVA has learned that Dutch forward Cody Gakpo has told Liverpool he wishes to leave during this summer’s transfer window.
The 27‑year‑old’s spell at Anfield has been a roller‑coaster, flashing moments of brilliance that never fully blossomed into the consistency demanded by a club hungry for trophies.
Sources close to the situation say Gakpo’s desire to depart is driven by a mix of personal ambition and the weight of expectations that have left him feeling unsettled.
While rumors have swirled about interest from several Premier League sides, Tottenham Hotspur appears to be the most vocal suitor, envisioning the Dutchman as a catalyst for a resurgence.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the forward has not publicly pushed for a move, but internal conversations confirm his intention to seek a fresh start elsewhere.
Club insiders suggest that if a deal materialises, it could reshape the midfield dynamics at Liverpool and offer Gakpo a platform to rediscover the form that made him a star at PSV.
Should he join Spurs, Gakpo would step into a side eager to climb back into the top half of the table and reclaim a foothold in European competition.
The potential exit underscores the relentless pressure at Liverpool, where only the very best thrive, and highlights how a change of scenery might reignite Gakpo’s career trajectory.
