Brighton reportedly reject £50m Liverpool bid for winger Minteh
Liverpool have had a $68m bid for Brighton & Hove Albion's Yankuba Minteh rejected, sources told ESPN. The club lodged the offer several days ago.
After Mohamed Salah's departure on a free transfer, The Reds are seeking attacking reinforcements. Manager Andoni Iraola has limited senior wide options: Cody Gakpo, Victor Munoz, and Rio Ngumoha.
Sidelined for at least eight weeks following surgery on a right leg injury, Minteh has registered nine goals and eight assists in 66 Premier League appearances since moving from Newcastle United in 2024.
Talks continue for primary target Bradley Barcola, valued at around $190m, while the club also pursues PSG teammate Ibrahim Mbaye. Both were excluded from Paris Saint-Germain's squad for Sunday's Trophee des Champions clash against Lens.
With the transfer deadline approaching on September 1, Liverpool face Newcastle United in their opening Premier League fixture. Iraola must strengthen before the window closes following a slow summer of additions.
