Overview
- Liverpool confirmed Bradley Barcola has signed a five‑year contract after passing a medical, with the fee reported to reach about £123m in add‑ons and guarantees.
- The club has told suitors it will only sanction Cody Gakpo's reported move to Manchester City once a like‑for‑like right‑wing replacement is secured.
- Liverpool are actively pursuing targets including Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr and Brighton's Yankuba Minteh as they race to fill the position before the 11pm BST deadline.
- Tottenham remain in the market for at least one more attacker while Roberto De Zerbi confirmed Kevin Danso, Richarlison and Pape Matar Sarr have asked to leave the club.
- This summer's compressed post‑World Cup window has driven higher fees, add‑on structures and conditional deals that make further last‑minute transfers and loan‑to‑buy arrangements likely before the deadline.
