Liverpool weigh winger search as FSG confirm stake talks

Liverpool teenager Amara Nallo has joined HJK Helsinki on loan for the rest of 2026 after a difficult spell that included two red cards.
Liverpool are linked with World Cup standouts as Iraola seeks a winger and defensive cover, with Barcola, Ferran Torres, Ibrahim Mbaye, Maxim De Cuyper and Quansah named as options.
Liverpool have reportedly made an approach for Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche. PSG are also keen, with Salah's exit leaving Iraola still in need of another wide option.
Iraola said Liverpool 'definitely need to sign a winger' after Salah's exit, and stressed Alisson must stay as a key dressing-room figure for new players and younger team-mates.
Liverpool reportedly have the upper hand over Arsenal in the race for PSG winger Bradley Barcola, as Iraola looks to replace Salah with a wide forward who could cost more than £100m.
Liverpool could raise more than £215m through sales. Mac Allister, Chiesa, Curtis Jones, Elliott and possibly Gakpo are among those linked with exits to fund Iraola's rebuild.
Alexis Mac Allister can channel talk of 'mocking and rejoicing' into motivation as he looks to raise his Liverpool level under Andoni Iraola.
Rio Ngumoha reflects on a 'crazy' England phone call and suggests he can help solve an Andoni Iraola issue at Liverpool.
FSG are in early talks over a £1.3bn minority investment from Amit Bhatia's consortium, with Jeff Bezos interested. Transfer control would stay with FSG and funds would not go directly to Liverpool.
Andoni Iraola says he wants Liverpool to restore identity with teamwork, pressing, youth and Anfield connection, building a side fans can identify with and that are hard to beat.
Fernando Morientes praised Iraola's impact and said the new Liverpool boss has been turning heads, but warned against comparing him with Xabi Alonso.
FSG confirmed Amit Bhatia's consortium want a minority stake in Liverpool. Iraola said the Reds 'definitely need to sign a winger' and may assess right-back, pending Conor Bradley.
Iraola has hinted Liverpool need to sign a defender this summer, with the Reds seeking a 'solution' as they assess limited options at the back.
Liverpool are told Iraola can cope with Anfield pressure, but must sign proven quality, while links with PSG winger Bradley Barcola continue and Wirtz is tipped to reunite with Xabi Alonso.
