Liverpool Agree Personal Terms with Yankuba Minteh as Brighton Reject £60m Bid

According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, Minteh has agreed to the terms proposed by Liverpool and is keen on making the move to Anfield. However, the two clubs are yet to reach an agreement over a transfer fee.

Liverpool have already seen two offers rejected by Brighton. The first was worth £50 million, while the Seagulls also turned down an improved £60 million proposal. Liverpool are expected to return with another bid as they attempt to convince Brighton to sell.

Brighton are understood to value the 22-year-old at around £70 million, giving Liverpool another hurdle to overcome despite the player's willingness to join the Premier League champions.

Minteh keen on Liverpool move

Minteh is reportedly enthusiastic about the prospect of moving to Anfield and has already reached an understanding with the club over personal terms.

Romano has indicated that the winger is eager to join Liverpool, with the club's history of success with African players reportedly adding to his attraction to the move.

The Gambian arrived at Brighton from Newcastle United in 2024 after an impressive loan spell at Feyenoord. He has since developed into an important attacking option for the Seagulls and remains under contract with the club until 2029.

Liverpool prepare another attempt

Liverpool's determination to sign Minteh comes as they look to strengthen their wide attacking options before the transfer window closes.

The Reds have already seen their opening approaches rejected but have continued discussions with the player's representatives and Brighton. Minteh is one of several attacking targets being considered, with Liverpool also pursuing other options in their search for additional quality on the wings.

Minteh is currently recovering from a leg injury that is expected to keep him out for several weeks, but his fitness situation has not prevented Liverpool from pursuing a deal.

The next step is now for Liverpool to convince Brighton to lower their demands or meet the club's valuation. With personal terms reportedly settled, negotiations between the two Premier League clubs will determine whether Minteh becomes Liverpool's latest major signing.

For now, the transfer remains incomplete, but the player's desire to move to Anfield gives Liverpool encouragement as they prepare what could be a third offer for the highly rated winger.
