Transfer bombshell back on! Liverpool reopen talks for a Premier League winger
Liverpool have brought a dramatic transfer saga back to life just before the summer window closes.
Details: According to Gambian journalist Foday Manneh, Liverpool have reactivated talks with Brighton over Yankuba Minteh. He reports that the clubs discussed a new price on Sunday morning, with the latest figure viewed as more acceptable for the Reds. The two Premier League sides are now back in active negotiations and are trying to reach an agreement soon.
The renewed contact represents a major change in the situation. Brighton had previously rejected Liverpool offers worth £50 million and £60 million, while reports indicated that the Seagulls were demanding around £80 million for the 22-year-old winger. The latest update does not reveal the revised figure discussed by the clubs, meaning the potential final transfer fee remains unclear.
Liverpool have therefore returned to a deal that appeared to have stalled only days ago, with the transfer deadline adding extra pressure to the negotiations. Minteh remains a Brighton player while the two clubs search for common ground. It is worth noting that Brighton's official season review credited the Gambian winger with three Premier League goals and four assists during the 2025/26 campaign.
