£80m transfer target knows it’s “a big win” that Liverpool want him

Brighton & Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh reportedly still desires a permanent transfer to Liverpool. According to Gambian football expert Baboucarr Fallaboweh, the 22-year-old winger considers interest from Liverpool to be a major positive, though an ongoing injury could complicate any potential move. Fallaboweh also noted that Minteh is likely to remain in the Premier League if he departs Brighton, with Manchester United highlighted as another potential suitor.

Brighton reportedly value Minteh at £80 million, a price tag that could require lowering before any transaction occurs. The former Feyenoord player is currently recovering from an injury but is expected to return to competitive action following the September international break. Meanwhile, Liverpool already possess multiple wing options, which could impact the feasibility of adding another wide attacker in an upcoming transfer window.
