Top five Bradley Barcola alternatives Liverpool should target ft. Rayan

The Reds are looking for a winger in the transfer market.

Liverpool have already signed Víctor Muñoz from Osasuna to improve their wide attacking options. However, Andoni Iraola has claimed that the team still needs another winger before the transfer window closes.

At that price, Bradley Barcola looks to be off the table, so the Reds will have to consider other options. Their preference will be for a player with a far lower worth, especially given that other areas of the team require significant reinforcement this summer.

List of less expensive Bradley Barcola alternatives Liverpool can sign

S.No.	Players
5	Saidl El Mala
4	Maghnes Akliouche
3	Yankuba Minteh
2	Rayan
1	Rafael Leao

5. Saidl El Mala

When Liverpool’s interest in Barcola was originally reported, Said El Mala was identified as one of the club’s backup options if they were unable to sign the Frenchman. Fortunately, Liverpool already know the 19-year-old’s price, which is far lower than that of Barcola.

The Germany international, who was unfortunately left off the World Cup squad, is a left winger by trade. But he is well-known for his exceptional two-footedness. Standing tall for a wide man at six feet, he combines power, speed, and energy, giving him an appealing potential for Premier League success.

4. Maghnes Akliouche

The AS Monaco winger, who is additionally on PSG‘s radar, has had an amazing rise in his home country of France. We saw consecutive eye-catching displays earning him a place with Les Bleus at this summer’s World Cup.

At 24 years old and with three complete senior seasons under his belt, Akliouche seem to be one of the ideal candidates for the Reds. Considering that he is a natural right winger with a fantastic left foot, it makes him an excellent substitute for Mohamed Salah.

3. Yankuba Minteh

If Liverpool opt not to sign Barcola, winger Yankuba Minteh of Brighton & Hove Albion is expected to be one of their transfer targets. The Gambia international, who previously shone on loan at Feyenoord under former Reds manager Arne Slot, has shown flashes of his promise on England’s south coast.

Minteh’s athleticism and physical characteristics make him such a distinct danger, as seen by 19 Premier League goals in two seasons with Brighton. The 22-year-old possesses really devastating pace and acceleration. His maximum speed of 22.4 mph was eclipsed by just 12 Premier League players last season—including only Jeremie Frimpong of Liverpool.

2. Rayan

Rayan, who played extensively for Brazil at the World Cup, was outstanding during his debut half-season in English football. He clearly has a good working connection with Iraola. While Bournemouth will be extremely opposed to any bids this summer to maintain his worth, their resolve may be tested—especially given that no team is expected to trigger his release clause in the foreseeable future.

1. Rafael Leao

Although Rafael Leão has star talent, he may not be the best fit. The Portugal star is three years older and a right-footed left winger, which Liverpool already have on their roster. However, he would be an opportunistic addition capable of improving a pretty unspectacular attacking line.
