Gakpo Discusses Pregnancy Loss, Near Manchester City Move

Cody Gakpo said a difficult summer brought uncertainty over his Liverpool future and personal grief after he and his partner lost their unborn child. Manchester City reportedly made an £80 million bid for the forward, who had agreed personal terms, but the move fell through after Liverpool reconsidered selling while struggling to recruit replacements. Gakpo said he is focusing on what he can control—playing football—and spending time with family and friends. He has since continued contributing for Liverpool and the Netherlands.
