Liverpool have £50m bid rejected for Brighton's Minteh

Liverpool's offer of £50 million to sign Brighton's winger Yankuba Minteh has been declined. The 22-year-old Gambian international has been a consistent performer for Brighton, netting 10 goals and assisting 9 times in 73 appearances. Minteh, who moved to Brighton from Newcastle for £30 million in 2024, primarily plays on the right wing.

He is currently sidelined due to a leg injury sustained in a friendly match against Roma earlier this month. Liverpool, under manager Andoni Iraola, is focusing on bolstering their wide attacking options following the exit of Mohamed Salah. The club has already made a significant summer signing in Victor Munoz, a winger or central forward who joined from Osasuna for £34 million.

Liverpool's interest in Paris St-Germain's Bradley Barcola persists, but the two clubs remain far apart in their valuation of the 23-year-old French winger, with PSG demanding a fee around £145 million, while Liverpool is more open to a deal closer to £100 million.
