On August 25, 2026 (CEST), The Athletic released Issue 13 of its "Transfer Window Review" for the summer 2026 transfer window, analyzing Liverpool's situation.

Does Interest in Yankuba Minteh Mean Liverpool Are Casting a Wider Net on Potential Targets?

Ideally, Liverpool want to sign two wingers before the transfer deadline next Tuesday, and their pursuit of Yankuba Minteh will not change their interest in Barcola.

Currently, there remain several issues regarding negotiations with PSG over the transfer fee for the French international. Yankuba Minteh is viewed as a suitable alternative to Mbappé, and the 18-year-old is Liverpool's primary target.

What Positions or Players Are They Considering?

Despite increasing calls for Liverpool to strengthen midfield following Sunday's 2-2 draw with Newcastle, sources close to the club indicate Liverpool's focus remains on bolstering their attacking wing options.

They have no intention of replacing Curtis Jones, believing that Nyoni will be ready to step up and take on a more significant role this season. Unless circumstances change, the club will only strengthen the attack.

Which Players Could Leave?

The futures of Chiesa and Elliott are uncertain, as neither featured in the squad against Newcastle. Man City are interested in signing Gakpo, and the Dutch international has also been linked closely with Tottenham this summer, but to date, no negotiations have taken place between clubs regarding Gakpo's transfer.

Liverpool could sanction some loan deals next week, with Luke Chambers and McConnell both attracting strong interest from Championship clubs, though no final decision has been made on whether to loan them out or keep them in the first-team squad until January.

Koumas has earned his chance following an impressive pre-season, making his Premier League debut as a substitute in the Newcastle match. His future will be influenced by new contract terms, but with the current situation, it appears he will stay.
