Liverpool Maintain January Interest in Yankuba Minteh

A January approach could alter Liverpool's attack after Mohamed Salah's exit by adding pace and depth if Brighton agrees to sell.

Overview

  • Multiple reports on Saturday and Sunday say Liverpool still plan to monitor Yankuba Minteh and could return for him in the January transfer window.
  • Brighton rejected at least two Liverpool bids in the summer and held firm through the close of the window, leaving the transfer unresolved.
  • Minteh is currently sidelined with a leg injury and is expected to miss weeks, a factor that will affect his valuation and any mid‑season move.
  • Liverpool strengthened on the right in the summer by signing Bradley Barcola and Victor Munoz, so any January bid will depend on Barcola's adaptation and whether Cody Gakpo or Munoz secure the starting right‑wing role.
  • Brighton are unlikely to want to sell a key attacker mid‑season and would probably demand a premium, so Liverpool are also tracking alternatives such as Ismaila Sarr if talks stall.
