We don't have enough wingers for start of season - Iraola

Liverpool's manager Andoni Iraola revealed that his team does not have sufficient wingers for the upcoming season. The club's initial £60 million bid for Brighton's winger Yankuba Minteh was rejected, but ongoing negotiations suggest Brighton wants closer to £70 million for the 22-year-old Gambian international. Iraola expressed confidence that Liverpool will find a solution by the end of the transfer window.

The Red Devils have also shown interest in Paris St-Germain's Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola, the latter being their primary target. Iraola acknowledged the uncertainty during the transfer window, stating that the team needs to adapt and open-mindedly explore opportunities in the market to strengthen their squad.
