Liverpool appear determined to test Brighton and Hove Albion again over Yankuba Minteh, with the winger emerging as a significant target during the closing stages of the summer transfer window.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are expected to return with another offer after Brighton rejected bids of £50million and £60million for the 22-year-old. The Seagulls are believed to value Minteh at more than £70million, leaving Liverpool with a decision over how far they are prepared to push negotiations.
There is little mystery surrounding the motivation. Liverpool require attacking reinforcements, particularly following Mohamed Salah's departure, and Andoni Iraola has publicly acknowledged that he would like more options.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool's Premier League opener, Iraola explained the difficulties created by starting the season while the transfer window remains open.
"As a manager, this is an easy one for me. I wanted the players for the first day on 13 July – everyone here and all the positions doubled with top-level players," said Iraola.
