The camp of Yankuba Minteh continues to pursue a move to Liverpool despite signals that the club does not intend to make further signings before the transfer deadline. Brighton currently values the 22-year-old at £70 million, a figure Liverpool previously deemed too high given the winger's recent statistics. Liverpool recently rejected an £80 million bid from Manchester City for Cody Gakpo, signaling an intent to rely on current squad members to cover the right side of the pitch. Reports from Gambia suggest representatives for Minteh held discussions with Liverpool staff that yielded positive feedback. However, Liverpool has not been in contact with the player since the morning of September 1, 2026. While the club maintains a position against new additions, Minteh's representatives believe a transaction remains possible if Brighton lowers its asking price.
