Report: Liverpool ready to bid again for top transfer target

Liverpool are poised to make a follow-up bid for Brighton and Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh, according to recent reports. The 22-year-old winger has emerged as a significant target for the Reds during the closing stages of the summer transfer window, with Liverpool expected to submit another offer after Brighton rejected initial bids of £50million and £60million.

Brighton values Minteh at over £70million, leaving Liverpool to consider how far they are willing to push negotiations. Reds manager Andoni Iraola has highlighted the need for more attacking depth following Mohamed Salah's departure, and Minteh's pace, aggression and attacking abilities make him an attractive option for Iraola. Brighton manager Fabian Hürtzel has stated that Minteh is a key player for the Seagulls, and a move above £60million would represent a substantial investment.

Liverpool's willingness to increase their bid could potentially influence other attacking additions within their budget for the upcoming window.
