Liverpool are actively planning to sign between two and three new players before the summer transfer window shuts, with Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola and Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh emerging as the club’s top priorities, according to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg.
Liverpool Pursue Bradley Barcola Transfer From PSG
The Merseyside club feels short in attacking areas, particularly in wide positions, heading into the final days of the window. According to Italian transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are engaged in daily conversations with Paris Saint-Germain over a deal for Bradley Barcola. PSG initially set an asking price of €170m for the winger, and negotiations continue as Liverpool attempt to lower that valuation. Romano noted on his YouTube channel that Barcola and teammate Ibrahim Mbaye were again left out of the PSG squad for the weekend, keeping the transfer saga active as deadline day approaches.
Third Bid Expected for Brighton Winger Yankuba Minteh
Alongside their pursuit of Barcola, Liverpool are also targeting Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh. According to Gambian journalist Foday Manneh, the club has already had two bids rejected by the Seagulls, but a third improved and convincing offer was expected to be sent to Brighton. The player is reportedly waiting to formalise personal terms once a fee is agreed. Plettenberg reports that beyond these primary targets, Liverpool are exploring avenues for a potential surprise third signing before the window closes.
Summer Business So Far and Transfer Strategy
Liverpool have already added three players to their squad on permanent and loan deals this summer. The club secured Victor Munoz from Osasuna and Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes on permanent transfers, while Ronaldo Araujo joined on a season-long loan deal from Barcelona. With the window entering its final stretch, recruitment staff are working to finalize additions that address squad depth in the forward line.
