**Liverpool are expected to add at least one attacker to their squad between now and the end of the summer transfer window.**
And if Cody Gakpo secures a move to Tottenham, they will be forced to replace him as well, which is a difficult situation for Andoni Iraola to deal with.
The Reds remain locked in talks to sign Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye from PSG, but the Parisians are driving a hard bargain to part with the talented duo.
[Yankuba Minteh has been mentioned as a potential Barcola alternative](https://readliverpoolfc.com/transfers/liverpool-barcola-premier-league-alternative-slapped-with-70-million-valuation/), with Brighton reportedly valuing him at around £70m.
However, he will not be moving to Liverpool this summer after his latest injury blow.
The Reds aren’t in active talks to sign Minteh but have admired him for a while now, with multiple sources confirming that Liverpool have had a look at him for their right wing spot to replace Mohamed Salah.
However, he picked up a foot injury in the friendly against Roma and is expected to be out of action for 2-3 months, according to [The Athletic](https://x.com/AndyNaylorBHAFC/status/2088255094936441081?s=20).
The Gambian winger has steadily improved since getting his big break and has already played plenty of Premier League football for a 22-year-old.
His latest injury is a big blow, but Liverpool will continue to keep tabs on him as he is a historic transfer target for the club.
