Despite pleas from fans to focus on right-back and central midfield, the final two days of Liverpool’s transfer window look set to be all about the wing positions.Cody Gakpo could leave for Manchester City, but only if the Reds manage to strike a deal for Ismaila Sarr, Yankuba Minteh or somebody else.Liverpool‘s desire to let Gakpo leave and bring in a lesser player has baffled supporters, who are desperately hoping that a new name will enter the fray. Which incomings and outgoings do you want to see at Liverpool by Tuesday’s deadline?

Like everything with the Reds currently, this smacks of muddled up thinking and a real lack of a clear plan.Liverpool’s Brughmans interest makes no senseAs they await news of winger targets – and, more hopefully, anything at all on the right-back or central midfield situations – Liverpool fans were not interested in news breaking that Brughmans is a target.The Belgian looks like a top talent and is already starting for Genk, one of the country’s biggest clubs, while still a teenager.READ MORE: Liverpool’s favourite winger target heading towards transfer deadline day has been revealedHowever, trying to sign another young goalkeeper is simply the last thing Liverpool should be looking at right now.Reports initially suggested that Brughmans could be a replacement for Giorgi Mamardashvili, who was said to be attracting interest from Nottingham Forest ahead of the deadline.Again, this would make little to no sense. Signing him to play back-up to Alisson – who regularly misses 15-20 games per season – would be an enormous and unnecessary gamble from Liverpool.Photo by BRUNO FAHY / BELGA MAG / Belga / AFP via Getty ImagesIt makes even less sense when you consider the circumstances of Pecsi, who should really have designs on becoming Liverpool’s long-term No.

But if they were ready to move on from Mamardashvili, why would the Reds not simply promote Pecsi rather than loan him out and look for a different young understudy?There is plenty at Liverpool that just does not make sense at the moment, and taking an active interest in a teenage goalkeeper while deliberately ignoring huge gaping holes in the current squad is absolutely in line with that.There have since been claims that any deal for Brughmans could take place in the future, rather than immediately. But, again, why are Liverpool wasting time on future, rather needless transfers when they should be focusing their energy on improving the first-team right now.If Liverpool fans were frustrated with their club after a truly dismal 2025/26 campaign, some of the decisions this summer have only compounded that feeling.
