Liverpool remain interested in a possible move for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh, with the player’s representatives reportedly working to secure a transfer before the window closes.
The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Reds throughout the summer, and according to reports, his camp is still hopeful that a late move to Anfield can be arranged. However, Brighton are believed to value Minteh at around £80 million, a price Liverpool may consider too high.
Liverpool are looking for more quality and balance in their attacking options, particularly on the right wing following Mohamed Salah’s departure. Minteh has impressed in the Premier League and is seen as a player capable of filling that position.
Although the winger is currently recovering from an injury and is expected to return in the coming weeks, Liverpool could still view him as a valuable long-term addition. The Reds have reportedly made previous attempts to sign him, but Brighton rejected their offers.
Liverpool now face a decision over whether to meet Brighton’s demands or wait and potentially revisit the situation in a future transfer window. Paying £80 million for the player may be considered excessive, especially with the club unwilling to overpay.
Minteh himself could be attracted by the opportunity to join a club of Liverpool’s stature, while his representatives are reportedly trying to find a solution before the transfer deadline.
Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo has also been linked with a possible move away from Anfield, with clubs such as Manchester City and Tottenham previously credited with an interest. If Liverpool were to lose the Dutch international, they could be forced to strengthen their attacking options further.
With time running out in the transfer window, Minteh’s future remains one of the situations to watch, as his representatives continue pushing for a possible move to Liverpool.
