Yankuba Minteh seeks Liverpool move as Cody Gakpo stays at Anfield

Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh is attempting to secure a deadline day transfer to Liverpool despite the club's waning interest. Representatives for the 22-year-old are still pushing for the move, though reports indicate a deal is unlikely before the window closes. Liverpool previously submitted two bids for the player, including one at £60m, but Brighton has maintained an £80m valuation. The Reds have shifted focus elsewhere as Cody Gakpo remains with the squad following his strong start to the season. Liverpool also rejected an £80m offer from Manchester City for Gakpo within the last 24 hours. Given Gakpo's current form and the high cost of acquiring Minteh, club officials are expected to close the window without adding another winger.
