Liverpool make an approach for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh and Brighton reject their offer, according to multiple reports. The clubs’ talks centre on a move to add a winger before the end of the current transfer period.
The Guardian and other outlets say Liverpool have tabled a £50m bid for the 22-year-old. The Independent frames the pursuit as part of Liverpool’s search for attacking reinforcement, describing Minteh as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah. The Guardian adds wider squad context, saying Liverpool want two wide forwards under manager Andoni Iraola, while Brighton are dealing with injuries including Kaoru Mitoma and have recently seen Danny Welbeck leave.
Some reports focus on the timing pressure near the summer window deadline, with The Mirror stating the bid is made and Brighton respond. Other outlets, including the BBC, describe the initial approach and indicate negotiations are ongoing in parallel with other transfer targets mentioned by Guardian reporting.
