Minteh Transfer Still Possible as Agents Push Liverpool for Last‑Hour Move
Brighton’s firm £70–80m asking price, the player’s short‑term injury and Liverpool’s signals against new signings make any deal uncertain before the deadline.
Overview
- Reports on Tuesday say Yankuba Minteh’s representatives held fresh talks with Liverpool and are actively pressing for a move before the transfer window closes.
- Brighton have repeatedly rejected Liverpool bids and are understood to be holding out for around £70–80 million, a gap that has stalled negotiations.
- Liverpool have given signals they do not expect further incoming signings and recently rejected an £80 million approach for Cody Gakpo, which reduces immediate pressure to meet Brighton’s price.
- Minteh is currently sidelined with an injury and is expected to be available again in a few weeks, a factor that complicates Liverpool’s urgency and valuation of the deal.
- The combination of the valuation gap, the injury and Liverpool’s transfer stance leaves the move possible but uncertain, with the outcome likely to be decided in the final hours of the window.
