As Premier League champions, Liverpool are heading into the summer transfer window reportedly considering a potential replacement for Luis Diaz at Anfield.
Liverpool Making Moves in the Transfer Market
The Reds have quickly established themselves as a significant force in the summer market under Arne Slot, showing no signs of easing their pursuit of top-tier talent.
With Jeremie Frimpong already confirmed as a Liverpool player and Florian Wirtz potentially joining him, it`s clear the reigning Premier League champions are intent on fiercely defending their title next season.
The focus at Anfield now is on building a squad capable of managing a demanding domestic schedule alongside their return to the Champions League in the 2025/26 campaign.
Reports indicate Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera is also on Liverpool`s radar, potentially aided by teammate Giorgi Mamardashvili`s existing relationship with the £25 million-rated defender.
Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos is another player linked with Liverpool. However, it remains uncertain if PSG will allow him to leave, especially as they prepare for the Club World Cup.
Overall, it`s an exciting time to support the Reds. The club is aiming for further silverware, including the elusive 21st top-flight title that would surpass Manchester United`s current shared record.
Smart signings are crucial to ensure Liverpool stays ahead and avoids a `second-season syndrome`. Determined to maintain high standards, FSG and the club hierarchy are now targeting an exciting Premier League player who might become available, amidst speculation surrounding Luis Diaz, who has been linked with moves to Saudi Arabia or Barcelona this summer.
Liverpool Reportedly Enter Race for £35m Yankuba Minteh
According to various reports, Liverpool is closely monitoring Yankuba Minteh`s progress at Brighton & Hove Albion and could potentially make a £35 million offer for the winger.
The Gambia international had an important campaign while on loan under Fabian Hurzeler since joining from Newcastle United last summer, contributing seven goals and five assists across 37 appearances in all competitions.

Other clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur are also reportedly keeping an eye on his situation. Brighton understands it might be difficult to decline a significant offer if strong interest materializes for his signature.
Minteh`s representatives are not rushing a decision on his future, but his contribution of 29 chances created in the Premier League is sure to attract attention. He is also noted for his speed, reportedly faster than any player currently at Arne Slot`s disposal, having recorded a top speed of 36.4 km/h in the league last season.
Liverpool`s status as top-flight champions gives Slot a strong position to potentially sign his targets. This situation with Minteh is certainly one to watch as the Reds` transfer activity on Merseyside progresses.
With Luis Diaz linked with a potential £68 million transfer to the Saudi Pro League this summer, it would logically pave the way for an incoming winger like Minteh to join the squad.
