The battle for Liverpool winger and Netherlands international Kodi Gakpo is heating up at the final stage of the summer transfer window..

According to the authoritative football insider Fabrizio Romano, confirming the latest information from the journalist Munir Boualin, Manchester City was reluctant to join the race for the driver.

Today, representatives of the Manchester giants contacted Hakpo's camp for the first time, giving a start to preliminary discussions on a possible transition. Tottenham's opposition to this position will still be deprived of considerable value.

For information, Gerel Spurs will continue to be in the stage of active negotiations before signing the footballer.

The Londoners have already managed to reach a principled agreement with Gravetz himself - the mind of a special contract for the betterment of the future.
