Fabrizio Romano reports that Yankuba Minteh “dreams of joining Liverpool” to follow in the footsteps of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. A deal to sign Ibrahim Mbaye has collapsed amid valuation disagreements between Liverpool and PSG, which led to talks being opened with Brighton for Minteh.

Yankuba Minteh is DREAMING of Liverpool transfer Romano has made it abundantly clear that Minteh is desperate to join the Reds, with a personal terms agreement already established between the player and Liverpool. “Again, Liverpool have had two bids rejected, but they are expected to try again, but there are also more names available on the shortlist of the directors for Liverpool.

“Minteh already agreed personal terms with Liverpool. He wants the move, he dreams of joining Liverpool after some African players did great there – from Mo Salah to his idol Sadio Mane – but for the moment we’re still waiting for a club-to-club agreement, which has still not been reached yet.” The transfer window ends a week from Monday, so it’s vital that Liverpool get a deal for Minteh and Barcola done this week.
