Bid imminent as Andoni Iraola confirms Liverpool “will definitely sign some players”
Andoni Iraola told Jamie Carragher that Liverpool “will definitely sign some players” this summer.
The Liverpool Echo’s Paul Gorst shared the Basque head coach’s comments on X (formerly Twitter) amid the club’s ongoing push to sign Bradley Barcola.
On Thursday, the Merseysiders had a £50m opening bid for Yankuba Minteh rejected .
Liverpool set for flurry of late deals this summer
It’s good to see that Iraola’s beliefs on Liverpool’s squad depth (or lack of) haven’t changed since earlier in the summer transfer window.
And with us still short up front, not to mention in several other departments, it couldn’t be clearer to the neutral that Liverpool are heading into the new campaign without an appropriate array of tools.

Mind, we still expect the club to eventually shake hands on a deal for Barcola, given that PSG now appear to have an overabundance of wide players following recent deals for Mika Godts and Ferran Torres.
Iraola’s comments suggest Liverpool will address key areas
The forward line is in most desperate need of immediate reinforcements ahead of the start of the Premier League season.
As things stand, Liverpool can’t call upon a natural right-sided winger (beyond Federico Chiesa) and they’re lacking experienced quality on the opposing flank that meets Andoni Iraola’s needs.
Bradley Barcola and either Ibrahim Mbaye or Brighton and Hove Albion’s Yankuba Minteh would address those two particular issues. However, we still have serious concerns around our apparent lack of depth in central areas, with Alexander Isak’s fitness record leaving much to be desired.
Fortunately, it seems we can rely on our new head coach to hammer home the message between now and the end of the window.
You’ve got 11 days to hand Iraola a squad fit to compete this season, Liverpool. Don’t leave him with nothing but a bucket and a water gun to stave off a wildfire.
Liverpool expected to push for Yankuba Minteh
The Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele reports that Liverpool are expected to come back with an improved proposal for Minteh’s signature.
The Gambian features on an extensive shortlist of options to bolster the right flank this summer.
