Cody Gakpo: Newcastle linked with Liverpool and Netherlands-Togo winger in €60m rumour

Netherlands-Togo left winger Cody Gakpo of Liverpool is being linked with a move to Premier League rivals Newcastle United in a transfer rumour that places his valuation at around €60.00m.

The 27-year-old, born in Eindhoven and capped by the Netherlands, is the subject of fresh speculation after reports on 14 June 2026 connected him with a potential switch from Anfield to St James’ Park. The probability of the move remains officially listed as “?”, underlining that talks are at the exploratory stage rather than an advanced negotiation.

Gakpo, who stands at 1.93m and prefers to operate as an attacking left winger cutting in from the flank on his right foot, joined Liverpool after emerging at PSV Eindhoven, where he built his reputation as one of Europe’s most versatile forwards. At Liverpool he wears the No 18 shirt and has been used across the front line, adding physical presence and ball-carrying threat to the attack.

His market value of €60.00m, according to Transfermarkt, would make any deal a major financial commitment for Newcastle, who continue to reshape their forward options. With no publicly known contract expiry date at Liverpool, there is currently no suggestion he is close to becoming a free agent or that his contract has expired, adding another layer of complexity to any prospective agreement.

Recently, Gakpo has remained a regular feature for Liverpool, contributing in high-profile Premier League fixtures. In Liverpool’s latest outing – a 2-0 home win against Tottenham on 11 May 2026 – he started on the left, completed the full 90 minutes and was involved in the build-up to the opening goal, though he did not score.

Should a move to Newcastle materialise, it would represent a significant new chapter in Gakpo’s career and could prove pivotal in shaping his standing in the Premier League and across Europe.
