Liverpool see £50m bid for Yankuba Minteh rejected by Brighton

Liverpool have had a £50m bid rejected by Brighton for their winger Yankuba Minteh.

The 22-year-old Gambia international has scored 10 goals and provided nine assists in 73 appearances for the Seagulls.

Minteh, who joined Brighton from Newcastle for £30m in 2024, plays primarily on the right wing and is currently recovering from a leg injury sustained in a friendly against Roma earlier this month.

The priority for Reds boss Andoni Iraola for the remainder of the transfer window is to strengthen his wide attacking options after the departure of Mohamed Salah, and Liverpool will continue to look at a number of possibilities to test the market.

They signed Victor Munoz, who can play as a winger or through the middle, from Osasuna for £34m earlier this summer.

Paris St-Germain's Bradley Barcola remains a priority for Liverpool, but as it stands, the sides are too far apart on their valuation of the 23-year-old France winger, who is open to moving to Anfield.

PSG are holding out for a fee in the region of £145m, but Liverpool would be more willing to strike a deal closer to the £100m mark.
