Liverpool transfer green light as phenom £55m Real Madrid forward wants move

Liverpool transfer green light as phenom £55m Real Madrid forward wants move Liverpool are running into difficulty over Yankuba Minteh. Brighton have jacked up the price for their Gambian winger. Richard Hughes slid an offer across the Seagulls’ desk last week worth £50m - which was immediately thrown in the bin. The Reds’ sporting director followed up with one worth £60m but again the South Coast side declined to do business. It was then reported that Brighton would not settle for less than £70m but just as that news was being digested the price rose again to £80m. Liverpool move on from Minteh Liverpool are in desperate need of a right winger but the wisdom of doing business for the 22-year-old at that price needs to be questioned. The 2024/25 Premier League champions have now got to decide whether to pay the fee or walk away for other targets. And one name which could come back into focus towards the closing stages of the transfer window is Endrick. Endrick prepared to leave Real Madrid, Premier League interest confirmed The 20-year-old Real Madrid forward risks being squeezed out of the picture under Jose Mourinho. Madrid have signed Carlos Espi for centre-forward backup and Yan Diomande to start on the right wing. Ex-Palmeiras wonderkid Endrick prefers to play in both of those positions meaning chances will be at a premium this season. A report from Siro Lopez on YouTube - via Defensa Central - is now claiming that the Brazil international has asked to leave the Bernabeu during the current transfer period either on loan or on a permanent move with the option of a buyback. And crucially Premier League teams are among the throng lining up for the left-footed attacker - who spent the second half of last season out on loan at Lyon. Endrick could be available for £55m "The information I have is that there are Premier League teams that may be interested in signing Endrick,” the report reads. “Of course, Olympique Lyonnais and some other French teams could be interested in a loan deal. “That's where Real Madrid has to decide whether to accept what the player is asking for, which is to leave on loan or be sold with a buy-back option, as happened with Gonzalo. “But with the information I have, I don't rule out the possibility that Endrick could leave Real Madrid before January." Endrick - described as a phenomenon by Gabriel Jesus - has endured a frustrating time at Madrid since signing back in 2024 - finding minutes and goalscoring opportunities hard to come by. Given his profile - and versatility - he could be the ideal option for Richard Hughes on the right wing while other targets remain out of reach. Madrid would settle for £55m for Endrick - per reports - a far cry from the ostentatious demands Brighton are making for Minteh.
