Liverpool is pursuing a couple of winger deals ahead of the summer transfer window closing. The Reds aim to enhance their one-on-one attacking options out wide, following Mohamed Salah's free transfer move to Trabzonspor. Andoni Iraola is seeking at least five winger options for the season. Victor Munoz's arrival from Osasuna has left space in the squad for additional widemen.
The Reds are chasing Bradley Barcola and Yankuba Minteh. Minteh, a 22-year-old Brighton winger, was signed from Newcastle for £30m in 2024. Liverpool has made two bids worth £50m and £60m for Minteh, but both were rejected. Manager Richard Hughes is expected to return with a higher £70m bid to secure Minteh.
Barcola, a 23-year-old France international, is a more challenging prospect for Liverpool. PSG reportedly demands £145m for the forward, who joined Lyon for around £40m in 2023. Liverpool views Barcola as worth a maximum of £120m, creating a significant gap in valuation. Arsenal is reportedly waiting in the wings to potentially hijack the Barcola deal, as they have the financial means to meet PSG's demands.
