  "account": "Brighton's rejection of Liverpool's £50m bid for winger Yankuba Minteh has been confirmed. The 22-year-old Gambian international, who joined the Premier League side for £30m in 2024, has been in impressive form, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists in 73 appearances. Minteh primarily operates on the right wing and is currently recuperating from a leg injury suffered in a recent friendly match against Roma. Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola's main focus for the remaining transfer window is to bolster his attacking options following the departure of Mohamed Salah. The Reds have already made a significant signing with Victor Munoz, a winger or midfielder capable of playing across multiple positions, acquired from Osasuna for £34m this summer. Paris St-Germain's Bradley Barcola remains a target for Liverpool, but the gap in their estimated valuations remains substantial. PSG is reportedly demanding around £145m for Barcola, whereas Liverpool would likely be content with a deal in the £100m range.",
