Mohamed Salah<\/a> is still no longer a Liverpool<\/a> player. Still, the Egyptian King will be absent as the Andoni Iraola<\/a> era kicks off. And still, the desperate need to replace him before the end of the transfer window is as strong as ever.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Premier League<\/a> giants are not at their peak by any stretch, but Iraola’s entrance after such a steep drop-off last year has pumped fresh energy into Anfield’s legs.<\/p>\n Signings are still needed, though, with the new Premier League now upon us. Liverpool are still pushing to sign Bradley Barcola<\/a> from Paris Saint-Germain, and while that one has become a protracted saga, each party is working toward a solution. Barcola wants to sign for the Reds.<\/p>\n However, Barcola is not a right-sided forward, and therefore, not a like-for-like Salah replacement. Liverpool need a right winger, and have trained their sights on Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Minteh is sidelined with a leg injury. He is not expected to return to action until October. Still, Liverpool clearly see immense potential in the Gambian winger, who only scored three Premier League goals for Brighton last season.<\/p>\n Liverpool are skilled operators in the transfer market, and oftentimes, know how to secure a statement signing, even when the player in question hasn’t performed to the highest level. The 22-year-old Minteh has so much potential, and his underlying data speaks of a future at the highest level.<\/p>\n Minteh has been described as an attacking talent who “can reach Sadio Mane level<\/a>” in the future. He plays with a natural combativeness that perfectly complements his electric attacking intensity. He is one of the most dangerous wingers in the division, but he does need to up his game in front of goal.<\/p>\n Liverpool have seen several offers knocked back: first, a verbal \u00a350m offer, and on Friday evening, a \u00a360m approach which ended with the Seagulls stating that it would take \u00a370m to bring him over to Anfield. Still, Brighton correspondent Andy Naylor has said that the deal ‘will probably end up happening<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n Should Liverpool find an alternative, however, things could shift once again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Minteh is a promising winger, but is he ready to step up to Liverpool and establish himself as Salah’s successor on the right wing?<\/p>\n According to ESPN Brazil, Liverpool have expressed strong interest in Real Madrid forward Endrick, who does not want to leave the Spanish capital, but whose position on the right wing has been jeopardised by the record-breaking arrival of Yan Diomande, former Liverpool top target.<\/p>\n Endrick, 20, is widely regarded as one of football’s top attacking talents. He joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras for around \u00a351m in July 2024. Reports in Brazil now suggest that Liverpool are hoping to sign him for \u00a356m<\/a>, but Real will surely demand more.<\/p>\n\n What Minteh would bring to Liverpool<\/strong>
