Liverpool's £50m offer for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh rejected

Liverpool’s £50 million bid for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh was turned down by the Seagulls. The 22‑year‑old, who has become a key attacking option for Brighton over the past season, was deemed too valuable for the club to part with, according to club officials. Brighton’s manager confirmed the decision, citing the player’s importance in the squad and the need to maintain squad depth for the remainder of the Premier League campaign.

The rejection comes after Liverpool expressed keen interest in the young winger, who has attracted attention with his pace, dribbling and ability to create chances from the wing. While the transfer window remains open, Brighton’s decision signals a willingness to hold onto talent that has helped the club achieve a mid‑table finish. Liverpool will likely continue to monitor Minteh’s progress, but for now the move remains off the table.
