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

What the report says

Liverpool have seen a £50 million bid for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh turned down, according to Nile Post. The 22-year-old Gambia international is among the wide attacking players Liverpool are considering this summer as they look to add pace and depth out wide.

Minteh, who joined Brighton from Newcastle in 2024 for £30 million, has made 73 appearances for the Seagulls, scoring 10 goals and supplying nine assists. He primarily plays on the right flank and is currently recovering from a leg injury suffered in a friendly against Roma earlier this month.

The reported rejection comes as Liverpool continue to assess options in the market after Mohamed Salah’s departure. The article says the club have already signed Victor Munoz from Osasuna and are also monitoring Paris St-Germain’s Bradley Barcola, although the two clubs are said to remain far apart on valuation. PSG are reportedly seeking around £145 million, while Liverpool would prefer a figure closer to £100 million.

More broadly, the story highlights Liverpool’s wider search for attacking reinforcements and Brighton’s willingness to resist an early approach for one of their key wide players. The situation remains fluid, with further bids or alternative targets still possible as the transfer window progresses.
