Jamie Carragher backs Cody Gakpo sale at the right price
Jamie Carragher has backed Liverpool to sell Cody Gakpo to Man City at £80-85m.
City have shown interest in the Dutch international, while the Reds are close to signing Bradley Barcola for £123m.
And Carragher believes Gakpo’s role would be diminished enough with Barcola on board that a sale now makes sense.
“The money talked about for Gakpo £80/85M we should sell. With Barcola arriving he will be a squad player,” Carragher said on social media.
“We need to use that money for a right winger & give the squad a better balance.”
