Brighton reject £60m Liverpool bid for Yankuba Minteh
Liverpool have had a £60m bid for Brighton's Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh rejected by the south coast club. Minteh, who only moved to Brighton from Newcastle in a deal worth around £30m last summer, has impressed in the Premier League, attracting strong interest. Brighton are understood to value the player significantly higher and are not under pressure to sell, leaving Liverpool potentially needing to return with an improved offer if they are to land the 20-year-old before the window closes.
Read the full story at skysports.comLiverpool's willingness to table £60m underlines how highly Minteh is rated after a breakout season at Brighton, but Brighton's swift rejection signals a firm negotiating stance. Having only purchased him from Newcastle for around £30m a year ago, the Seagulls hold a strong hand and appear set on either keeping the winger or demanding a record-breaking fee. For Liverpool, the pursuit suggests an active search for attacking depth and width, though they may now need to reassess whether to increase the bid or move on to alternative targets.
