Liverpool trade news LIVE: Luis Diaz ‘asking price determined’, Yankuba Minteh’s updates, Bakayoko links latest 

The Liverpool Echo has all the latest Liverpool FC news, comments, and live summer transfer window updates.

Arne Slot has just finished his first week as Liverpool manager, and the gossip mill has been buzzing with transfer speculation.

The Reds are reportedly interested in Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh, who worked under Slot at Feyenoord on loan last season. According to reports, Liverpool is one of several clubs interested in the £40 million winger.

Liverpool’s interest in Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo continues, with reports indicating that the club is keeping an eye on his position. The emergence of Kylian Mbappe threatens to force the Brazilian out of the Real Madrid starting lineup.

Meanwhile, the ECHO hears that Sepp van den Berg is not close to completing a permanent move away from Mainz, where he was on loan last season. The centre-back, who has only appeared four times for Liverpool’s senior team since his 2019 arrival, is valued around £20 million, with Mainz still some way from that number.

Liverpool have expressed interest in Bakayoko.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool is interested in right winger Johan Bakayoko of PSV Eindhoven.

According to reports, up to six clubs are tracking the 21-year-old, who scored 14 goals and assisted 14 times in 48 games last season.

Liverpool are not understood to have made any progress towards his transfer yet, despite the apparent interest of multiple clubs in England and Germany, which might trigger a bid war.

Ederson’s price tag is ‘outlined’.

Earlier, we reported that Liverpool had not made a bid for Atalanta midfielder Ederson.

Corriere dello Sport reports that the Serie A club will examine offers in the €50 million (£42.5 million) range.

Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle are reportedly keeping an eye on the Brazilian, who won the Europa League with Atalanta last month.

Mac Allister delivers an future update

Alexis Mac Allister believes he is satisfied at Liverpool, despite recent reports of Real Madrid interest.

The midfielder, who joined Anfield a year ago today, had a good season in red and is delighted with his current condition ahead of the Arne Slot era.

“Everything works well, it is not a club with big egos and everyone tries to help you as much as they can,” Mac Allister said.

Rodrygo’s updates

Rodrygo could leave Real Madrid this summer as a result of Kylian Mbappe’s arrival, according to reports.

The Brazilian has since been linked with Liverpool, with Manchester City being the most interested party.

Rodrygo, who will represent Brazil in the Copa America this summer, spoke up about the transfer rumours this week.

“At the moment, I have no idea what will happen. The way the [Feyenoord] supporters treat me is quite wonderful, but I’m not sure if I’ll go or stay. “We’ll see what the future holds.”

Luis Diaz’s asking price is’set’.

According to Diario AS, Liverpool has set a €75 million (£68.3 million) price tag for Luis Diaz in case any team wants to pursue his transfer.

Despite repeated ties with Barcelona, Liverpool are not in a haste to ensure his future with three years remaining on his Anfield contract.

Such a sum is likely to be prohibitively expensive for the La Liga heavyweights, who are grappling with spending constraints due of their massive debt.

What has Minteh revealed about his future?

Liverpool has been connected with an interest in Newcastle United winger Yankuba Minteh, who is reputedly valued at £40 million.

The 19-year-old attacker worked under Arne Slot while on loan at Feyenoord last season, and the manager praised his abilities, as seen in a previous article.

Minteh provided an update on his future last month, ahead of his return to St James’ Park.

He informed Voetbal International:
