New details have emerged regarding Liverpool's interest in Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh, who has become a key target for the Merseyside club.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing reports from the TEAMtalk portal, Liverpool is keen on securing the 21-year-old forward, though the potential transfer faces significant financial hurdles.
Reports indicate that Brighton's management is demanding a substantial fee for the Gambian international. The club is reportedly planning to generate approximately 94 million euros from his sale, justifying the high valuation based on the current inflation of player prices in the transfer market.
Yankuba Minteh has been a notable presence for Brighton during the 2025/2026 season, appearing in 36 matches across all competitions. During these appearances, he has contributed three goals and four assists, showcasing his development as a young attacking talent.
The player's current contract with Brighton runs until 2029. While the specialized portal Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at 45 million euros, Brighton's asking price is more than double that figure, reflecting the club's desire to retain or maximize profit on their investment.
Brighton & Hove Albion, known for their astute scouting network and ability to develop young players, often sets high valuation benchmarks for their rising stars, a strategy that has become a hallmark of their recent Premier League success.
