Context
Yankuba Minteh, born in 2001, impressed during his time at Feyenoord, where he showed ability and potential. With interest from Liverpool, his move could mark an important evolution in his career, following in the footsteps of other successful African footballers such as Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah. His versatility and talent could make the difference for the Reds next season.
Why it matters
Yankuba Minteh's transfer to Liverpool would represent an important step for the Reds, who are looking to strengthen their attacking line following the departure of Mohamed Salah. Minteh, a young Gambian talent, proved his worth during his loan spell at Feyenoord, attracting the attention of top-flight clubs. His ability to play on the right flank could prove crucial for Liverpool, who need viable alternatives in attack.

Liverpool are currently engaged in negotiations with Brighton over the transfer of Yankuba Minteh, a young Gambian football talent. The Anfield outfit submitted an initial bid of £50 million, which was rejected last week. The 22-year-old, who is currently recovering from injury and will not return to action until October or November, caught the Reds' attention thanks to his performances on loan at Feyenoord last season.
After the first offer was rejected, Liverpool immediately made a second offer, this time for £60 million, which was also rejected by Brighton. However, discussions continue, and it is estimated that a deal between the two clubs could take place in the region of £70 million. Signing Minteh would be a significant step for Liverpool, who need reinforcements on the right flank, especially following the departure of Mohamed Salah.

Fabrizio Romano, a well-known transfer market expert, confirmed that Minteh has already reached an agreement on personal terms with Liverpool. The player is enthusiastic about the idea of moving to Anfield, attracted by the successes of some African footballers who have shone at the club, such as his idol Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah. The news of his willingness to move was greeted with enthusiasm by Reds fans.
“Minteh has already agreed personal terms with Liverpool, he wants a transfer and dreams of joining the Reds after some African players have done very well here,” Romano told Caught Offside.
However, despite an agreement between the player and the club, negotiations between Liverpool and Brighton have yet to materialise. Considering the asking prices, it is reasonable to think that a deal for Minteh is not that far away. At the same time, Liverpool are exploring other options for the attacking department, including the name of Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, who is not currently part of the French club's main squad. There was initially talk of a transfer worth around £145m, but the latest news suggests a deal for Barcola could happen in the region of £120m.
What happens now
Negotiations between Liverpool and Brighton continue, with a possible deal that could take place in the region of £70 million. Minteh has already reached an agreement on personal terms with Liverpool and appears keen on the prospect of joining the club. If the transfer materializes, the player could immediately contribute to the team, despite his current injury.
