Liverpool are pursuing a potential signing of Real Madrid prospect Endrick should their pursuit of Yankuba Minteh falter, whereas Aston Villa aim to reinforce a thin squad by securing free‑agent Leon Goretzka.
Trending rumors
– Liverpool have secured a preliminary verbal agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh regarding personal terms, per transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Gambian player has endorsed Liverpool’s proposal, yet the transfer remains distant as Brighton has turned down a second £60 million offer. Negotiations between the two Premier League clubs continue.
– Should the Minteh move collapse, Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Real Madrid prospect Endrick, as disclosed by The Times. The club has opened inquiries regarding the Brazilian forward’s availability this summer, following his impressive loan spell at Lyon. It is uncertain whether Real Madrid will permit Endrick to depart either on loan or permanently before the current season ends. Endrick remains under contract with Real Madrid through June 2030.
