The 20-year-old’s path to regular Bernabeu minutes has been challenging and with the arrival of Yan Diomande, it is not going to get any easier. Real splashed £120m to land the Ivorian from RB Leipzig after Liverpool had tried to sign the winger themselves. The Reds offered Leipzig a package worth £85.6m earlier in the window but were turned down. There will be even more competition in Real’s star-studded squad with the big-money arrival – leaving Liverpool hopeful to pick up wonderkid Endrick, who spent the best part of last season on loan at Lyon.

Most read in Sport Brighton ace Minteh is firmly on their shopping list after Liverpool tabled a £50m offer. The Seagulls rejected the bid and it remains to be seen whether Anfield will go back in with more cash. Minteh, 22, is currently sidelined for around two months after undergoing surgery on a leg injury suffered against Roma in pre-season. The Gambia international is believed to be keen on the switch as Liverpool continue to circle. He joined Brighton from Newcastle for £30m in 2024 and has chipped in with nine Prem goals and eight assists since. Minteh would give Iraola another option on the right, while Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool’s No1 target for the opposite flank. But landing the Frenchman will not come cheap after PSG initially slapped a staggering £145m valuation on him. Liverpool have already added Victor Munoz to their attacking ranks in a £34.5m deal from Osasuna this summer. And Iraola also has Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha and Federico Chiesa to call on out wide. Meanwhile, Curtis Jones looks set to be heading for the Anfield exit door. The midfielder has been given permission to fly to Italy for a medical after Liverpool agreed a deal with Inter Milan worth up to £30.7m. Inter will fork out £26.7m up front with another £4m in bonuses after the Reds dropped their original £35m asking price. Comment now
