Liverpool faces delay in Yankuba Minteh transfer due to injury recovery

Liverpool's pursuit of winger Yankuba Minteh is facing complications, with Brighton resisting the Premier League champions' advances ahead of the transfer deadline. Minteh, recovering from a right leg injury that required surgery, may not be fit for his Liverpool debut until October or November. The clubs have yet to agree on a transfer fee, with Liverpool's previous bids of £50 million and £60 million rejected. Brighton values the player at around £70 million. Despite these challenges, personal terms are reportedly agreed, and Liverpool is expected to make a third offer soon.
