Both Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola \u2018feel that their respective transfer saga has dragged on for long now\u2019 as Liverpool<\/a> continue talks with Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/strong><\/a> are concentrating their recruitment efforts on new wingers ahead of the summer transfer deadline after losing Mohamed Salah, who joined Trabzonspor recently.<\/p>\n

The Reds have already brought in Victor Munoz from Osasuna and now it looks like they are closing in on a deal to sign Yankuba Minteh from Brighton.<\/p>\n

Gambian journalist Foday Manneh reported on Friday<\/strong><\/a> that Liverpool have had a second bid for Minteh turned down but that both clubs are hopeful of striking a deal.<\/p>\n

Manneh wrote on X:\u00a0\u2018BREAKING Yankuba Minteh to Liverpool FC; a second bid rejected by Brighton from #LFC for the Gambian winger after a \u00a350M opening offer turned down, I can exclusively confirm today. The two clubs are hopeful about agreeing and continue talks.\u2019<\/p>\n

Well-known transfer insider Fabrizio Romano later backed up Manneh\u2019s information and added that Minteh and Liverpool have a \u2018broad verbal agreement\u2019 over personal terms.<\/p>\n

Romano said on X: \u2018Liverpool and Yankuba Minteh have a broad verbal agreement on contract terms as the player said yes to #LFC project. Brighton rejected \u00a360m bid sent today but talks continue, as @foday_manneh_ reported.\u2019<\/p>\n

Could Mbaye now consider other options over Liverpool?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a feeling that any deal for Minteh could impact Liverpool\u2019s potential pursuit of Mbaye and French newspaper L\u2019Equipe (via Get French Football News) insists that<\/a> the slow pace of a deal is making the PSG star change his stance on a move.<\/p>\n

Mbaye could consider a move to other clubs if a potential move to Liverpool drags on much longer after the Reds baulked at PSG\u2019s asking price for the winger.<\/p>\n

The report claims:\u00a0\u2018L\u2019Equipe\u00a0understands that both Mbaye and Bradley Barcola \u2013 who is also targeted by Liverpool \u2013 feel that their respective transfer saga has dragged on for long now. The two wingers are not expected to be part of Luis Enrique\u2019s travelling squad for their Ligue 1 opener against Rennes.<\/p>\n

\u2018Negotiations are said to be progressing slowly between PSG and Liverpool for the France international, but they are much slower for his Senegalese teammate. The outlet adds that Mbaye could even turn to another club with only ten days remaining in this summer\u2019s transfer window.\u2019<\/p>\n

The same report insists that RMC Sport have revealed that Liverpool and PSG are \u20ac20m apart in their valuation of Mbaye with the Parisiens demanding \u20ac70m \u2013 but the Reds only want to pay \u20ac50m.<\/p>\n
