Tottenham & Liverpool transfer moves (June‑August 2026)

Entities: Liverpool FC · Cody Gakpo · Andoni Iraola · Roberto De Zerbi · Liverpool Football Club

Overview

Tottenham completed a £52 million signing of Dutch centre‑back Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, re‑uniting him with manager Roberto De Zerbi. The club continues to monitor Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba and has been linked with striker Karl Etta Eyong, with a third bid for van Hecke expected.

Liverpool’s Dutch forward Cody Gakpo remains under contract until 2030 on a £250,000‑a‑week deal. Manager Andoni Iraola is weighing a possible sale to Tottenham as the club rebuilds after Mohamed Salah’s departure to Trabzonspor and Hugo Ekitike’s injury. Recent arrivals Victor Muñoz and Jeremy Jacquet have bolstered the squad.

Liverpool have opened intensive negotiations with Paris Saint‑Germain for winger Bradley Barcola, their top target to replace Salah. Personal terms are agreed and an agreement in principle of roughly €128 million has been reported, with Barcola confirming a preference for Anfield. The clubs remain apart on valuation, PSG asking £145‑150 million while Liverpool are prepared to spend £100‑120 million. Simultaneously, Liverpool are accelerating talks for 18‑year‑old PSG right‑winger Ibrahim Mbaye, with a likely fee of €40‑50 million and PSG president Nasser Al‑Khelaïfi directly involved.

Tottenham are reported to be seriously pursuing Cody Gakpo, while Spanish World Cup winner Ferran Torres has opted for PSG over Liverpool. Bayern Munich’s interest in Barcola appears limited as Liverpool emerge as the most likely destination.
