\n \u00a9 IMAGO – Andoni Iraola Liverpool\n <\/p>\n
Liverpool are wrapping up winger deals – in and out – before the transfer deadline. <\/p>\n
The summer window slams shut on Tuesday and by then the Reds\u2019 frontline should look very different.<\/p>\n

Bradley Barcola – and one more – will be onboarded while Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa and Cody Gakpo should be on their way out the door.<\/p>\n
Gakpo will earn the 2024\/25 Premier League champions around \u00a385m when his deal to join Manchester City goes through.<\/p>\n
Liverpool hold talks over signing Bournemouth’s Rayan<\/p>\n
And the money will be used to finance a deal for an as-yet unknown new right-winger.<\/p>\n
Will it be Ismaila Sarr? Or will it be Yankuba Minteh?<\/p>\n
Sarr, 28, was the subject of a \u00a350m approach last week and there remains the possibility that the Merseysiders return with a late offer to Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
Minteh, meanwhile, is injured and not expected to play until October or November. Nonetheless Liverpool like the Brighton 22-year-old – who is valued at around \u00a380m.<\/p>\n
Beyond those two and it would appear that Richard Hughes has got other irons in the fire.<\/p>\n
Liverpool now in contact with Rayan<\/p>\n
Because Matt Thielen is reporting on X that Liverpool have opened talks with Bournemouth over a deal for Rayan.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old Brazil forward was on the radar ever since his days as a teenage sensation at Vasco da Gama. But Richard Hughes stayed out of the race last winter – when the elegant left-footed attacker moved to Andoni Iraola\u2019s Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
The Cherries put together a package worth around \u00a330m for Rayan – with the Brazilian inking a deal until 2031. That contract is reported to contain a 2027 release clause at \u00a3130m<\/a> – which Liverpool have been tipped to trigger.<\/p>\n Bet \u00a310, Get \u00a330 in Free Bets<\/p>\n Open an account and place a qualifying bet of \u00a310 at min odds of 1\/5 (1.2) or greater.<\/p>\n 18+New UK\/ROI customers.
