Liverpool Still Pursuing Minteh Despite Potential Three-Month Layoff

Liverpool remains keen on signing Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh, with negotiations between the two clubs ongoing. According to Florian Plettenberg, the 22-year-old could be sidelined for another 2-3 months due to his current injury. However, this setback isn't deterring the Merseyside club, who have identified him as their primary target for the right-wing position, given his profile closely mirrors that of Mohamed Salah.

Brighton has already rejected two offers from Liverpool for the Gambian international, reportedly £50 million and £60 million respectively. The Seagulls value the player at £70 million, but Ben Jacobs suggests Liverpool's final offer is likely to be around £65 million. Should this offer be declined, Liverpool has other options, but the summer transfer window is rapidly closing.

Liverpool is also expected to imminently submit an offer for PSG's Bradley Barcola, which is anticipated to be accepted by the Parisian club. The two clubs have been in continuous communication and, according to most sources, have narrowed the gap on their valuation of the French international. The deal is reportedly expected to be around £120 million.
