Friday’s transfer buzz centres around Liverpool’s hunt for Mohamed Salah’s long-term replacement and an intense five-club Premier League pursuit of one of Norway’s standout World Cup performers.
Brighton have reportedly placed an £80 million valuation on Yankuba Minteh, who has emerged as a key target for Liverpool. Manager Andoni Iraola’s team is considering a move for the 21-year-old winger as the Reds begin their search for Salah’s successor. According to TEAMtalk, Brighton are using Anthony Gordon’s transfer to Barcelona as a benchmark for assessing the current winger market.
TEAMtalk also reports a heated competition brewing for Antonio Nusa. The 21-year-old Norwegian, who impressed during Norway’s World Cup campaign, has attracted widespread attention. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are among those interested in the RB Leipzig winger, who carries a €50 million price tag. Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Crystal Palace are also keeping a close watch on developments.
In Spain, Real Madrid have turned down approaches from Chelsea and Manchester United for left-back Alvaro Carreras. Despite the recent arrival of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, the Spanish giants are determined to retain Carreras within their squad. According to Fabrizio Romano, both Premier League clubs have seen their advances rejected.
However, Manchester United have reportedly ‘opened contact’ with Borussia Dortmund defender Julian Ryerson. Fresh off a season in which he provided 15 assists in the Bundesliga, the Norwegian is valued at €30 million by Dortmund. The Red Devils are believed to be keen on securing his services as part of their defensive reinforcement plans.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s summer rebuild under Eddie Howe continues to gather pace. With several senior players departing, the Magpies are turning their attention to emerging talents. The club has agreed a €60 million deal for Swiss prospect Johan Manzambi, who is set to move to St James’ Park after impressing during the World Cup.
In other transfer news, experienced striker Danny Ings is reportedly close to signing for Leicester City, as per The Telegraph. The move would see the seasoned forward bring his Premier League experience to the newly promoted side.
