Second bid from Liverpool indicates intent to get it done.” Suspect Minteh will ultimately end in the same outcome.Second bid from Liverpool indicates intent to get it done. #BHAFC https://t.co/RhOYpPdmbg — Andy Naylor (@AndyNaylorBHAFC) August 21, 2026 Can Yankuba Minteh fill Mo Salah void at Liverpool?

It does feel as though Liverpool have decided on Minteh as their right-sided option, unless they are simply trying to lure PSG into action, accepting an offer for Mbaye in the process. If I were Feyenoord, I would now cast my doubts if he could be rented from Newcastle United for another year.” Minteh is still a raw player who can be erratic in the final third, however, which is perhaps why a section of Liverpool’s fanbase aren’t sold on him being the natural heir to Mohamed Salah.

If Liverpool can bring in Bradley Barcola on the left and Minteh on the right, Liverpool will suddenly have a huge injection of youth and threat from wide areas, which is essential. Mbaye may be a stronger option on the right than Minteh, but the latter has proven himself in the Premier League, and Andoni Iraola could feel he can take him to a new level.
