Liverpool are plotting a move for Brighton & Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh, but the club have identified Real Madrid forward Endrick as an alternative target should the pursuit of Minteh fail to produce a deal, according to ESPN FC's Transfer Talk.

The report offers a glimpse into Liverpool's contingency planning as the club looks to bolster their attacking options this transfer window. Minteh remains the primary objective, but securing a deal for the Brighton man is not guaranteed.

Endrick, the Brazilian teenager who joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras, represents a high-profile fallback option for Liverpool as they seek to add firepower to their squad.
