Liverpool plan to sign two to three more players before the summer transfer window closes, according to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg. The Reds have added Victor Munoz from Osasuna and Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes on permanent deals, alongside Ronaldo Araujo on a season-long loan from Barcelona, but recruitment chiefs still feel short in wide attacking areas.
Targeting Bradley Barcola Amid PSG Talks
Bradley Barcola remains a primary target as Liverpool attempt to negotiate Paris Saint-Germain down from an original €170m asking price, according to Fabrizio Romano. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano noted that daily conversations continue with the French club, though he described the protracted pursuit as a slow deal.

“Don’t forget about Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye because both players once again are not part of the Paris Saint-Germain squad for the weekend,” Romano said. “Bradley Barcola has been one of the sagas of the summer. If you are a friend of my YouTube channel, you heard Bradley Barcola to Liverpool since May, and I remain still super optimistic because Liverpool are working on it.”
Pro Tip: Deadline day negotiations often accelerate rapidly in the final 48 hours as clubs weigh squad registration deadlines against player valuations. Keep an eye on official club announcements rather than social media speculation.
Chasing Yankuba Minteh From Brighton
Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh is another key objective for Liverpool before the September 1 deadline. The Merseyside club has already had two bids rejected for the Seagulls star, with Gambian journalist Foday Manneh reporting that a third improved offer is imminent or has already been submitted.
Manneh posted on X that the third bid was expected to land either overnight or Monday morning following discussions over a convincing offer, with the player waiting to formalize personal terms.
Plettenberg’s Update on Deadline Day Plans
Plettenberg reported via X that Liverpool are actively planning to secure multiple additions before the window slams shut. “Liverpool are planning to sign 2-3 more players before Deadline Day. Bradley Barcola and Yankuba Minteh remain the top priorities for Liverpool at this stage,” Plettenberg wrote.
