Brighton's winger Yankuba Minteh might serve as a potential substitute for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool. At the same time, the contract status of Dominik Szoboszlai is attracting attention from Manchester City and Real Madrid, who are said to be keeping a close watch on the Hungarian talent.
Liverpool targets Yankuba Minteh as a substitute for Mohamed Salah
According to Football Insider, Liverpool is showing special interest in winger Yankuba Minteh from Brighton & Hove Albion. Sources reveal that The Reds view the 21-year-old star as a promising replacement for Mohamed Salah, who will enter the final 18 months of his contract with the club in January.
Minteh has been impressive in the Premier League this season, contributing to 4 goals in 11 matches. Notably, the Gambian player previously worked under coach Arne Slot at Feyenoord before moving to Brighton last summer.
Man City and Real Madrid interested in Szoboszlai
According to Diario AS, Manchester City and Real Madrid are closely following midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai of Liverpool. The 25-year-old star has been involved in 6 goals over 15 games this season.
Liverpool aims to renew Szoboszlai’s contract until 2028 soon and plans to increase his salary to retain him amid interest from the two European giants.
Real Madrid wants to keep Vinícius Júnior
According to Cadena Ser, Real Madrid prioritizes extending Vinícius Júnior’s contract. The club’s management believes the 25-year-old player has been treated unfairly by coach Xabi Alonso and has no intention of considering any transfer offers.
The Brazilian star played full 90 minutes in the last two matches, including Real Madrid’s 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga last weekend.
Rafael Leão’s future remains uncertain
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Rafael Leão’s future at AC Milan is still unclear. Information from Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel indicates that the Rossoneri leadership is pleased with the 23-year-old’s performance and may offer him a 2-3 year contract extension after his impressive displays under coach Massimiliano Allegri.
However, AC Milan is reportedly willing to consider selling Leão if they receive an attractive enough transfer offer.
