Liverpool withdraws from Yankuba Minteh transfer pursuit amid injury concerns

Liverpool has exited negotiations for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh, who was being considered as a successor to Mohamed Salah. The transfer talks, which began in October 2025, involved Liverpool's initial £60 million offer, but Brighton's increasing valuation and Minteh's recent foot injury led to the decision to withdraw. Sources indicate Liverpool was prepared to raise their offer closer to £75 million if not for the injury. Going forward, it remains to be seen if Liverpool will reconsider their position once Minteh's fitness improves.
