Liverpool is already thinking about the future and has added Yankuba Minteh to its list of possible substitutes for Mohamed Salah on the right wing.

Liverpool understands that the Egyptian will remain key, but sooner or later, a replacement will be necessary. Yankuba Minteh, 21 years old and currently at Brighton & Hove Albion, has caught the interest of the 'reds' due to his performances in the Premier League. Although a January transfer seems unlikely, Liverpool has already begun procedures to get ahead of the squad renewal.

Voices from the club indicate that Liverpool wants to secure profiles with talent and versatility to face the second half of the season with wider offensive options.

Yankuba Minteh's Profile and Why Liverpool is Interested

Yankuba Minteh has shown he can play on either wing or in the middle, making him a solid alternative for Liverpool. The young Gambian, who joined Brighton from Newcastle United in 2024, aims to prove his future lies in the elite.

Liverpool values his explosiveness, one-on-one ability, and his understanding of associated football. Furthermore, the fact that coach Arne Slot already knows him from their time in Dutch football gives Liverpool an extra edge. Liverpool understands that, although Salah continues to start, it needs to anticipate his succession and enhance attacking depth.

Yankuba Minteh has already been marked as an option for Liverpool, sparking discussions on when would be the right time to move decisively for his signing.

Obstacles in Liverpool's Operation for Minteh

Despite Liverpool's clear interest, securing Yankuba Minteh presents challenges. Brighton does not consider a short-term sale, as they see him as a medium to long-term investment. His contract until 2029 gives Brighton an advantage in negotiations against Liverpool.

Furthermore, the estimated price for the young forward has risen, with figures around £60-70 million mentioned for a serious offer. Aware of these obstacles, Liverpool prefers to plan for a future arrival rather than make a move in January.

This aligns with the club's strategy of gradually reinforcing. Liverpool must also consider that Minteh is just one of several candidates to cover a potential Salah departure, reducing the urgency but maintaining the importance of acting with foresight.

Liverpool's Long-Term Strategy

Liverpool seems to be adopting a strategy of anticipation: securing or at least reserving Yankuba Minteh for the near future, possibly after Mohamed Salah's contract ends. The club has already held preliminary talks with the player's representatives and is evaluating how to make an offer that satisfies Brighton without compromising short-term resources. For Liverpool, Minteh's arrival means not only replacing Salah but evolving the attack with freshness and youth.

This plan aligns with what Liverpool has been promoting: a mixture of young talent and experience. If all goes as planned, Liverpool could announce an agreement for the next transfer window or secure a pre-contract. The outcome will define the club's offensive approach in the Premier League and European competitions.

In conclusion, Liverpool already has Yankuba Minteh on its radar as one of the projects to watch in the near future. Even if the transfer doesn't materialize in January, the planning is underway. Anfield's club knows that securing the young Gambian now can prevent bigger issues later on.
