The winger is currently recovering from right leg surgery following a pre-season injury sustained against AS Roma.With an estimated recovery timeline of up to two to three months, Minteh will be unable to play immediately, making him a long-term developmental investment rather than a quick fix for the upcoming fixtures.Additionally, with only nine Premier League goals across two seasons with Brighton, spending such a steep fee on an injured, developing asset, while simultaneously funding a record-breaking deal for Barcola, represents a bold and unorthodox gamble by the Liverpool hierarchy.
