Liverpool is pursuing Brighton's Yankuba Minteh but is also considering Real Madrid's Endrick as a backup option if the Minteh deal falls through. Negotiations for Minteh are ongoing, with Brighton rejecting a £60 million bid. Meanwhile, Aston Villa is looking to strengthen their squad by signing free agent Leon Goretzka, who has been without a club since leaving Bayern Munich in June.
Watch for Liverpool's next move in the Minteh negotiations, as Brighton's firm stance could push them to act quickly on Endrick. The outcome may influence their attacking strategy this season, especially with Aston Villa's pursuit of Goretzka adding pressure in the market.
