Transfer news roundup: Liverpool inquiries and Manchester United deals

Liverpool made an enquiry to Real Madrid regarding Brazil forward Endrick after they had a £60m bid for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh rejected. Head coach Andoni Iraola acknowledged the need for more wingers, particularly after a £50m offer for Minteh was declined by Brighton. Following this, Liverpool expressed interest in PSG's Bradley Barcola, but the French club is demanding £145m for the player. Meanwhile, Curtis Jones has left Liverpool in a €30m deal to join Inter Milan.

Arsenal confirmed the signing of Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa for £51m and are exploring a move for Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz. Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster the squad as they aim for success in both the Champions League and Premier League. Manchester United wrapped up a deal for Brighton's Carlos Baleba, having agreed on a £70m transfer fee, which will see the midfielder undergo a medical prior to the season opener against Hull.

Tottenham have also confirmed an £85m deal to sign winger Savinho from Manchester City, with potential plans to acquire Omar Marmoush as well. Liverpool's latest attempts to sign Minteh show their urgency as the transfer window closes on September 1.

As clubs across Europe look to finalize their rosters ahead of the 2026/27 season, notable moves include Chelsea potentially facing a bid from Aston Villa for striker Nicolas Jackson, priced close to £65m, while Atletico Madrid's interest in Julian Alvarez appears to have cooled despite their high valuation of him.

With the Premier League resuming, Andoni Iraola expressed his frustration at a shortage of wing options, while Manchester United's acquisition of Baleba adds further depth to their squad.
