Liverpool reignites talks for Brighton forward Yankuba Minteh
Summary

Liverpool have resumed negotiations with Brighton for forward Yankuba Minteh as the transfer deadline approaches. The Merseyside club is seeking a replacement for Mohamed Salah, who left the team earlier this summer. Previous attempts to sign the 22-year-old stalled due to valuation disagreements, but sources suggest Brighton have now offered terms more aligned with Liverpool's expectations. While no deal is finalized, the club is prioritizing the acquisition of an explosive winger to bolster its attacking options. Andoni Iraola continues to search for a player capable of stretching defenses as he shapes his first squad at Anfield. The move remains under active consideration as both parties navigate the final days of the window.
