The Reds are working behind the scenes to prepare for life after Salah, and the name of Brighton's rising star, Yankuba Minteh, is at the top of their list, with a stratospheric price tag.

Mohamed Salah's departure is looming. Aware that their Egyptian superstar, who will turn 34 next June [ note: if the original article refers to June 2026 ], is nearing the end of his legendary adventure at Anfield, Liverpool FC is anticipating the future by targeting the new Premier League sensation: Yankuba Minteh .

The 21-year- old Gambian winger for Brighton & Hove Albion has quickly established himself as one of the league's major attacking revelations. His blistering speed and dribbling skills have caught the eye of Liverpool scouts.

According to journalist Foday Manneh, the Merseyside club's management has made the young Gambian international a priority target for the summer of 2026. The objective is clear: to ensure a smooth and effective transition on the right flank of the attack.

A record price for a "new Salah"?

However, the operation promises to be a real financial challenge. Brighton, who have no intention of selling their prized asset cheaply, have reportedly set Minteh's price at over €100 million . A colossal sum, but one that reflects both the rampant inflation of the market and the player's exceptional potential.

Liverpool plans to closely monitor Minteh's progress until the end of the season before finalizing their decision. His profile— explosive, creative, and direct —is reminiscent of a certain Mohamed Salah's early days. This has fueled the dreams of fans: could the club have found its worthy successor on Merseyside?
