Gakpo has been offered to clubs in the Premier League, including Tottenham Hotspur, and around Europe as Liverpool attempt to gauge interest in the Netherlands international through third-party representatives
Gakpo's departure could make way for Gordon, who continues to impress Reds officials, though Newcastle have made no secret of their intention to keep the 25-year-old on Tyneside
Gordon spent part of his youth development at Liverpool before joining Merseyside rivals Everton in 2012; he ultimately began his professional career at Everton.- Arsenal are stepping up their quest for Roma in-form defender Wesley França, with Ben White set to make way in the summer, according to TEAMtalk
França has been a revelation since joining the Italians from Flamengo last summer, impressing with a four-goal haul
Arsenal scouts have also noted the Brazilian 22-year-old right back's athleticism, defensive diligence and attacking capabilities
The Gunners are also monitoring Newcastle's Tino Livramento, Eintracht Frankfurt's Nnamdi Collins and Monaco's Vanderson
Meanwhile, White's departure has been sanctioned by the club if the right offer comes along.- Barcelona and Real Madrid are both planning to test the waters for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland in the summer, but City are not planning on allowing the 25-year-old to leave, according to Football Insider's Pete O'Rourke
Haaland is contracted at the Etihad Stadium until 2031, and City are looking to sign players in other positions around him
Haaland has been out of form by his high standards -- scoring just five goals in 18 appearances since the turn of the year -- prompting suggestions he may consider a new challenge, and the two Spanish giants remain intent on trying to lure the Norway international to LaLiga as a statement signing
O'Rourke also reports that should manager Pep Guardiola leave the club, City would prefer to replace him with Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany, rather than other possible candidates such as Enzo Maresca or Luis Enrique.- Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti is keen on signing Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger and, in doing so, fend off interest from a number of Premier League clubs, according to Tuttosport
Spalletti and Rüdiger worked together at Roma, and it remains an ambition of the Bianconeri boss to re-sign the 33-year-old, ideally on a two-year deal, to bring some stability to his back line
Spalletti sees the Germany defender as the perfect short-term addition to his squad, with his UEFA Champions League experience and leadership
Rüdiger is available on a free transfer at the end of the season
However, Diario AS reports that there has been a "radical twist" in the situation, with a contract renewal for the defender now in the cards
Madrid coach Álvaro Arbeloa enthusiastically said on Saturday that he'd "build a statue to Rüdiger and put it in my garden."- Atlético Madrid have bid €35 million plus bonuses for Atalanta midfielder Éderson, according to Sportitalia's Alfredo Pedulla
The Italian club are hoping to recoup closer to €40 million for the Brazilian
