Liverpool and Manchester City compete for Yankuba Minteh transfer
Summary

Liverpool's pursuit of Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh could face complications as Manchester City expresses interest. Liverpool has had two offers rejected, including a £60 million proposal, as they seek to strengthen their squad following Salah's departure. Minteh is currently sidelined due to a leg injury that will keep him out for approximately two to three months. Reports indicate Minteh has agreed to personal terms with Liverpool, but Brighton remains firm on their valuation. City's interest adds pressure as they look to fill a potential vacancy in their attacking lineup following another player's expected move.
