Liverpool have sent an initial inquiry regarding the transfer of Yankuba Minteh ahead of the summer transfer window.
Lent.az reports with reference to foreign media that the Merseyside team considers Brighton's Gambian striker as one of the candidates to strengthen the team's attack. The club's move comes after the official departure of striker Mohamed Salah.
It is reported that the 21-year-old striker has been in Liverpool's sights for a long time, and interest in him has increased after another successful season at Brighton.
One of the factors that increases transfer interest is the player's relationship with head coach Arne Slot. Slot highly appreciates Minteh's playing style and potential since they worked together at Feyenoord.
It is reported that the negotiations are still in the initial stage and no official offer has been submitted. Minteh's contract with Brighton is valid until June 2029, which strengthens the club's position in negotiations.
According to Transfermarkt, the Gambian footballer's market value is estimated at approximately 40 million euros.
