Liverpool Pull Out of Minteh Race
Liverpool have reportedly stepped back from their pursuit of Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh after failing to agree a suitable fee.
The Reds had identified the Gambian as one of their options for strengthening the attack, but negotiations did not progress as hoped.
Brighton Rejected Liverpool
Liverpool reportedly made two approaches for Minteh, with the latest understood to be around £60 million.
Brighton refused to accept the offer, leaving Liverpool with a decision to make. The Times
Liverpool Have Changed Direction
Rather than continue increasing their offer, Liverpool have reportedly shifted their attention elsewhere.
That decision could be significant because the club are still looking for another wide attacker.
Barcola Is Now the Big Target
Liverpool’s pursuit of Bradley Barcola has become increasingly serious.
Fresh negotiations with PSG are underway, with reports suggesting the asking price has dropped from around £145 million toward approximately £115 million. The Times
Liverpool Need to Act Quickly
The transfer window closes on September 1.
If Liverpool want Barcola, they need to move quickly before PSG change their position.
A Huge Decision for Slot
Liverpool have already invested heavily this summer.
Adding Barcola could complete an attacking rebuild that has already changed the look of the squad.
