Netherlands‑Togo forward Cody Gakpo of Liverpool is being linked with a summer switch to Bundesliga side Leipzig, with the 27‑year‑old left winger’s Anfield future now the subject of growing speculation.
Data from Transfermarkt lists Gakpo, who was born in Eindhoven on 7 May 1999 and stands at 1.93m, as having a current market value of €60.00m, a figure likely to shape any negotiations between the Premier League club and the German side. His contractual situation at Liverpool is not publicly detailed, with no expiry date recorded, prompting talk that the club may listen to offers rather than risk his value declining or edging towards a possible free‑agent scenario in future windows.
Leipzig, established as a pathway club for attacking talent in the Bundesliga, are monitoring Gakpo’s status closely. The rumour, logged on 8 June 2026 with the likelihood of a move still marked only as “?”, underlines that discussions remain at a preliminary stage and no agreement is in place.
Gakpo, who plays primarily as an attacking left winger and prefers his right foot, has been a regular part of Liverpool’s forward options, wearing shirt number 18. In a recent outing for the Reds – a Premier League fixture in which Liverpool faced [opponent], on June 8, 2026, finishing [scoreline] – the Dutch‑Togolese attacker featured prominently, underlining the blend of physical presence and direct running that has attracted interest from clubs across Europe.

With Leipzig’s interest now recorded and his €60m valuation widely cited, how this rumoured move develops could prove decisive for the next phase of Gakpo’s career, shaping both his reputation in continental football and his long‑term trajectory at the top level.
