Liverpool See Second Improved Bid for Yankuba Minteh Turned Down as Brighton Set Demands: Reports
Liverpool have a verbal agreement with Yankuba Minteh, but Brighton rejected a second £60 million offer and the club may look elsewhere.
On Friday, Liverpool intensified their pursuit of Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh with a second bid of £60 million, though the Seagulls rejected the offer. The 22-year-old has given the green light to join the project.
Brighton turned down an initial £50 million offer on Thursday, forcing Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola to seek fresh attacking options. The manager prioritized adding wingers to strengthen his squad.
Should the move for Minteh fail, Liverpool have inquired about Real Madrid forward Endrick, a 20-year-old Brazil international who spent last term on loan at Lyon.
With just over one week until the September 1 transfer deadline, Liverpool remains active in the market. The club faces mounting pressure to finalize squad adjustments before the window closes.
Competitive pressure for the 2026/27 season is driving other Premier League clubs to complete their business as well. Teams across Europe recognize the need for additional arrivals to remain competitive before the market closes.
