Liverpool Weigh Move for Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh as Long-Term Salah Successor

Interest reflects a tactical fit from their season together at Feyenoord, with reporting indicating no approach is expected soon.

Overview

  • Transfer insider Pete O’Rourke labels Minteh “very exciting” and says his history with Arne Slot makes him a logical target, while cautioning there is nothing imminent.
  • Recent coverage places potential valuations in flux, with some reports citing £60–70m and others suggesting figures that could exceed £100m.
  • Brighton are understood to be resistant to selling the 21-year-old, who is in his second Premier League season after joining from Feyenoord.
  • Minteh’s profile—pace, direct dribbling and high pressing—aligns with Slot’s system, where he produced 11 goals and 6 assists in 37 appearances at Feyenoord.
  • Liverpool’s assessment comes as Salah remains under contract until 2027, with form scrutiny and renewed Saudi interest prompting long-term succession planning.
