French Starlet signs for LFC!
31 Aug
Djylian N’Guessan

Liverpool FC have wrapped up the surprise signing of Saint-Etienne winger Djylian N'Guessan (18), according to Fabrizio Romano. The France youth international striker is expected to join the Premier League giants next summer. The 18-year-old has also agreed to the move and has been allowed by his formative club to undergo a medical. Foot Mercato adds that N'Guessan had entered the final months of his contract.

JAMIE LEWELING

Liverpool and Everton are interested in Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling, 25, with Roma also pushing to sign the German. Roma, Everton and Inter Milan have also been linked with the versatile attacker. Roma appear to have made the most concrete move so far. Sky Germany reports that the Serie A side submitted a package worth more than €40million, including a €5m loan fee and an obligation to buy.

LFIJ Si's Hot Take A very interesting option who is more of a wide playmaker. I am sure his agents offered him after the breakdown of the Roma move and Liverpool and Stuttgart have a good relationship after the Endo deal. One to keep an eye on but maybe lower priority.

MINTEH

David Ornstein reports that Brighton are stepping up their pursuit of Femi Azeez as a right winger from Millwall for £10 million which is below the asking price but looks like a natural replacement for Minteh if they get the deal over the line. The 25 year old wants to join Brighton

Source: David Ornstein / Athletic
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
I think if the Azeez deal gets completed, Liverpool will announce Minteh as a long term 22 year old solution to the right wing to add defensive ability to protect Frimpong as well as pure pace and natural right wing ability

I believe this only happens if the Lucca Brughmans deal gets completed otherwise Liverpool are short when Alisson picks up his inevitable muscle injury. Also depends if Mamardashvili is happy to stay 1 more season as a number 2 or whether he pushes to leave

Colombia U19 Captain

MATIAS OROZCO

Liverpool are willing to pay €5.1 million for 18-year-old defensive midfielder Matias Orozco. The player is captain of the Colombia U19 team and also has experience playing for the Colombia U21 national team. El País in Cali reported the same €6m exit clause, citing Mariano Olsen, and named Liverpool and Brentford as the two English clubs pushing hardest. Orozco is 178cm, right-footed and wears number 39 at Cali, having stepped up from the club’s under-20 side in July 2025. In roughly a year of senior football he has played 27 matches, 24 in the league and three in the Copa Betplay, scoring twice across 1,654 minutes.

MINTEH

Liverpool have £50m bid rejected for Brighton's Minteh. The 22-year-old is currently recovering from surgery on a right leg injury sustained in a 3-0 friendly win at home to Roma earlier this month. Minteh is expected to be out of action for another eight weeks, but sources with knowledge of the matter say he is keen on the potential move if the clubs can agree a fee.

Source: The Athletic, Ornstein
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
A legitimate Premier League proven right winger with a left foot who isn't a goal scorer but a work horse and a provider. He may be overpriced but he is better than what we have. Proper interest from LFC for sure and would be a great signing

Liverpool are close to signing Uruguay defender Ronald Araujo on a season-long loan from Barcelona.

The 27-year-old centre-back has helped Barca win La Liga in three of the past four seasons, and ended last season as club captain.

In Liverpool's particular situation, this is the missing piece in the Yugioh Millenium puzzle! A player who can come in and dominate. A player who can sit on the bench and earn his spot. A physical specimen who has a 10 in physical attributes and a 2 in mental attributes that just needs a change of environment. A prime player from one of the biggest clubs! The best hair since Abel Xavier. Great signing

The report states that one of the Reds’ main ‘priorities’ is strengthening their defence, with Iraola on the lookout for an experienced and reliable centre-back. Discussions are said to be at an early stage but the England international’s name is very much on their shortlist.

Ibrahim Mbaye

According to the BBC, Ibrahim Mbaye has been offered to both Liverpool and Manchester City as the highly rated youngster's future remains uncertain. The 17-year-old is regarded as one of France's brightest talents, but there is currently no indication that Liverpool have made a formal move. At this stage, it's understood that the player has simply been made available to interested clubs, with LFC among those informed of the opportunity. For now, this appears to be one to watch rather than an advanced negotiation.

LFIJ Si's Hot Take
I love Mbaye and believe he will become an epic player. But the 50 million euro cost is excessive but probably about right for his potential. He is a natural right winger and is one to watch. I think Liverpool will be working on it!

Djed Spence is apparently being discussed behind the scenes as an option for Liverpool with Sascha Tavolieri and Lewis Steele, a Daily Mail journalist hinting at interest from Liverpool for Tottenhams versatile fullback who starred for England at the World Cup

Source: Lewis Steele, Sascha Tavolieri
LFIJ Si's Hot Take
I don't think there is a credible story here because Spence is probably first choice on either fullback position for Spurs and they invested heavily for De Zerbi, who will want Djed in their squad. After the world cup showing, his valuation probably makes him unattractive despite being homegrown and a good player. Conte famously criticized the purchase of Spence for Spurs and refused to play him.
