£50 million snub! Liverpool receive firm rejection for Premier League star transfer

Liverpool have encountered fierce resistance in their bid to bolster the attacking flanks before the transfer window slams shut.

Details: According to renowned The Athletic journalists Andy Naylor and James Pearce, the Merseyside club recently made a formal offer to Brighton & Hove Albion for the transfer of 22-year-old Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh. The Reds were prepared to pay £50 million for the talented forward, but the Seagulls issued a categorical refusal.

Reports suggest that Minteh is among Liverpool’s top-priority candidates for the wide attacking role. Despite the fact that the player is currently recovering from injury, the Merseysiders see significant long-term potential in him to strengthen their attacking line.

It’s worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, the Gambian winger featured in 36 matches for Brighton & Hove Albion across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists. According to reputable portal Transfermarkt, the player’s market value is estimated at €45 million.
