Liverpool reopens talks for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh

Liverpool has reportedly reactivated transfer discussions with Brighton & Hove Albion regarding winger Yankuba Minteh. The 22-year-old Gambian international has emerged as a preferred target for manager Andoni Iraola due to his speed and direct playing style.

Previous attempts to secure the player failed after Brighton rejected offers of £50 million and £60 million. The selling club is currently holding out for a fee in the region of £80 million. Liverpool's renewed interest follows stalled negotiations for Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr, who Palace is reportedly unwilling to sell.

Liverpool's recruitment strategy is currently influenced by potential squad changes, including the possible departure of Cody Gakpo to Manchester City and the potential arrival of Bradley Barcola from PSG. If Liverpool does not secure an alternative winger before the summer window closes, Minteh is expected to become a primary priority during the January transfer window.
