Jones and Gakpo both heading for the exit?
Liverpool are bracing for a busy few days. Fabrizio Romano is reporting that a new bid for one of their players is imminent, and according to Football365, the exits of both Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo are accelerating, with a combined valuation in the region of £100m.
What Romano is reporting
Per Football365, aggregating Romano's reporting, a bid is incoming imminently for at least one of the two players, with the double exit now picking up pace mid-window. No buying clubs have been named in the available reporting, so the destinations remain open for now. This traces to a single underlying source, and the picture needs corroboration before full confidence.
It is not yet clear from the sourcing whether both departures are at the same stage, or whether one is further along than the other. Romano's reporting appears to centre on a single imminent bid, with Gakpo and Jones both in the picture. Treat the double exit as accelerating rather than done.
What Liverpool would actually be losing
Gakpo arrived from PSV and has been one of Arne Slot's more versatile attacking options, capable of operating across the front line. Jones, a product of the Anfield academy, has been a consistent presence in midfield and attacking areas for several seasons. Losing both in the same window would thin Liverpool's options considerably, particularly in wide and central attacking roles.
A £100m combined return would represent serious business, but the timing matters. Mid-window double exits leave less room to reinvest before the deadline, and Slot's squad depth would take a visible hit if replacements are not already lined up.
Where this goes next
The story needs corroboration from a second source before full confidence, and the absence of named buying clubs keeps the picture incomplete. Romano flagging an imminent bid is not background noise, and Liverpool's summer is suddenly looking a lot more complicated than it did a week ago.
