Liverpool push for Brentford target Kevin Schade as European interest swells

Liverpool have emerged as genuine contenders to sign Brentford and Germany forward Kevin Schade, 24, who is also linked with Manchester United. The Premier League club see the German winger as a key addition to bolster their attack for the coming season.

Why Liverpool target Schade

Schade’s pace and goal‑scoring record at Brentford have attracted attention across Europe, prompting interest from clubs such as Manchester United and several top‑flight sides. Liverpool’s scouting network believes his versatility fits the Reds’ high‑pressing style.

Broader European chase

While Liverpool focus on Schade, other European powerhouses are circling Manchester City talent. Norway and Manchester City forward Erling Haaland, 26, is being watched by Real Madrid and Barcelona, both ready to act if the opportunity arises.

England midfielder Phil Foden, 26, is on Bayern Munich’s radar should he become available from Manchester City. The German giants would move for the midfielder, adding depth to their midfield.

Premier League threatens Manchester City with harsh sanctions

Barcelona confirmed a failed attempt to sign Argentina and Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez, 29, earlier this summer. The Spanish club remains active in the market.

Brighton’s Gambia winger Yankuba Minteh, 22, is still keen on a Liverpool move after a summer deal fell through, highlighting the Reds’ continued appeal.
