Brighton Reject £50m Bid as Iraola Demands Late Liverpool Signings
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola confirmed the club will make further signings before the September 1 deadline, following a rejected £50m bid for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh. With several summer departures leaving the squad thin, Anfield officials are pushing to complete multiple incoming deals in the closing days of the window.
Minteh operates as a direct winger who relies on pace and balance to beat defenders in wide areas. Liverpool are actively recruiting wide attackers who can instantly add one-on-one threat and electric running to the team’s front line.

Andoni Iraola Demands Wide Attackers to Rebuild Forward Line
Iraola wants his wide players to stretch opposing backlines through aggressive running along the flanks. The pursuit of Minteh and Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola targets players capable of isolating full-backs and driving directly into the penalty area.

Liverpool intend to sign two new wide attackers to rebuild a forward line weakened by summer exits. Potential departures in central midfield, including Jones’ prospective move to Serie A, leave the roster thin across multiple positions.
Brighton Reject £50m Opening Offer for Yankuba Minteh
Brighton turned down Liverpool’s initial £50m offer for Minteh, setting a high price tag for the late-window target. Liverpool continue to weigh up alternative options alongside follow-up offers ahead of September 1.
