Liverpool Pressing for 'Bizarre' Deal for Yankuba Minteh: Report
Liverpool remain in talks for the Brighton winger as the club weighs a bid near £70 million despite his expected two-to-three-month absence.
- Liverpool are continuing negotiations with Brighton & Hove Albion for Yankuba Minteh, keeping the 22-year-old winger as their primary target despite his ongoing injury recovery.
- Following a pre-season injury against Roma, Minteh is expected to need "two to three months to be fully match-fit after his injury," creating complications for an already expensive deal.
- Brighton rejected offers of £50m and £60m, valuing Minteh closer to £70m, while Liverpool reportedly weigh increasing their bid to a minimum of £65 million.
- Andoni Iraola views the winger as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, with Liverpool prioritizing two additional wingers before the transfer window closes next week.
- Despite former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher criticizing the club's defensive-minded recruitment on Monday Night Football, the Reds remain focused on securing Minteh as their standout winger option.
