  "account": "Liverpool has shown interest in Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh, aiming to bolster their attacking options, according to BBC Sport. The 22-year-old Gambia international, who joined Brighton from Newcastle for £30 million in 2024, has netted 10 goals and provided nine assists in 73 appearances. Minteh, primarily a right winger, is currently recuperating from a leg injury sustained in a friendly against Roma. With Mohamed Salah leaving the club, Liverpool is scouting for additional wide options. The club has already signed Victor Munoz from Osasuna for £34 million this summer. Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola remains a priority for Liverpool, but the two clubs are currently far apart in their valuations.",
