Brighton reject £50m Liverpool bid for injured Yankuba Minteh

Brighton & Hove Albion have rejected an opening Liverpool bid of £50m for Yankuba Minteh.

The Athletic reports that the Seagulls star is one of several options the Reds are looking at in the current window following Mo Salah’s exit.

PSG’s Ibrahim Mbaye is also understood to be of interest; however, sources close to the club indicate that the Parisians’ asking price is problematic.

In one of the crazier stories of the window, Brighton have turned down a strong Liverpool bid for their injured right winger.

The same injured right winger who will be unavailable for the next eight weeks. Go figure.
