Liverpool is preparing to submit another bid for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh after the club’s initial attempts to secure the player were rejected. The Reds have already seen offers of £50million and £60million turned down by the Seagulls, who reportedly value the 22-year-old at over £70million. Manager Andoni Iraola has emphasized the need for additional attacking depth as the summer transfer window enters its final stages.
Minteh has emerged as a primary target for Liverpool following Mohamed Salah’s departure, with the club seeking to bolster their offensive options before the September 1 deadline. The winger has developed significantly since joining Brighton from Newcastle United, contributing 10 goals and nine assists across 73 appearances. However, his current injury status complicates matters, as he is expected to miss the opening weeks of the season.
Brighton have shown little willingness to negotiate, with manager Fabian Hurzeler reinforcing the club’s position that Minteh remains integral to their plans. Reports suggest the player himself is open to a move to Anfield, which could strengthen Liverpool’s negotiating position. The question now centers on whether the Reds are prepared to meet Brighton’s valuation to secure the talented winger before the window closes.
