Liverpool Prepare Third Bid for Yankuba Minteh

A reported offer near £70m is being floated as the price likely to win Brighton’s permission and could decide Liverpool’s wide‑player business before the transfer deadline.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report that Liverpool are preparing a third, improved offer for Yankuba Minteh, with those claims published on Monday, August 24.
  • Brighton rejected an earlier bid of about £50m and a second offer over the weekend, and Minteh did not feature in Brighton’s opening match of the season.
  • Sources say a fee in the region of £70m would likely convince Brighton to sell, which would represent more than double the £30m Brighton paid for him in 2024.
  • Journalists report Minteh has agreed personal terms with Liverpool and is waiting to formalise them once the two clubs agree a fee, while Liverpool also pursue Bradley Barcola and have signed Victor Munoz.
  • The story remains unconfirmed by the clubs, relies heavily on social‑media and secondary reports, and could shift quickly as the summer window nears its early‑September close.
