Overview
- Reports say Brighton turned down a £50m offer from Liverpool for Yankuba Minteh and values the 21-year-old significantly higher than that figure.
- Journalists additionally report Minteh is sidelined for about two months with a leg injury, creating immediate availability concerns for any transfer.
- Liverpool remain focused on adding a right-sided attacker to replace Mohamed Salah and are testing the market for alternatives rather than committing to one target.
- Interest in other named options has not progressed, with PSG-linked Bradley Barcola and 18-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye said to have stalled while Rio Ngumoha is being viewed as the favoured right-wing choice.
- All details come from media reporting and lack formal club confirmation, so Liverpool’s approach could still change late in the window and may include promoting existing players or increasing offers.
