I am confused with this Gakpo contract talk. Didn't he sign an extension last summer doubling his money and keeping him here from 2028-2030. Transfermarkt have him until 2030 and Capology say he signed it August 30th 2025.

He signed a new deal in the summer. I don't trust the reported wages. However, if they are even close to true, it looks like questionable business.
Same goes for Gravenberch's recently reported deal.

I've just seen the video that's doing the rounds, I wonder if it's for something else? As you rightly say, Gakpo only extended recently, unless I'm missing something.

There's a Tommy Hilfiger promotional video going around which Will Arnett (the US actor), Ibou and Cody are featuring in, along with a bunch of extras/fans.
Maybe that is causing the confusion?

Gravenberch went from 150kpw to 280kpw and a 6 year deal. Gakpo went from 120kpw up to 250kpw but another website had it at 200kpw. Questionable on wages front, but secures the assets for a long time.

Gakpo 100% signed a new contract last year, not sure where you're seeing reports he's negotiating.
FlyPelican, unfortunately, I do believe the numbers claimed. We seem to be throwing money at players these days. Hughes seems to be under the impression he's already in Saudi.
When you look at Gakpo's stats for last season, it's actually not hard to imagine them justifying it. It was a title winning season too, that gives everyone more leverage except the club. Pretty much all business done under Hughes/Edwards has been questionable business, unfortunately.

I think that's the one, mate, it's been shared as a contract signing video.

I think Gakpo would have been gone in the summer if not for Ekitike's injury. I'd say we keep him until January/next summer.
