Brighton have rejected a £60m bid from Liverpool for winger Yankuba Minteh.
Sky Sports News understands the proposal did not meet Brighton's valuation after the Reds previously failed with a £50m bid for the 22-year-old.
Minteh is currently unavailable due to an injury, which is likely to keep him out until October. Brighton are also without Kaoru Mitoma, who has been sidelined since May with a hamstring injury.
Brighton are also in talks with Manchester United over the sale of Carlos Baleba, with an agreement understood to be close over a deal worth in excess of £60m.
Liverpool prioritising reinforcements out wide
Reinforcing in wide-forward areas has been Liverpool's priority throughout this window after already signing Victor Munoz from Osasuna earlier in the window.
As part of Liverpool's process to add in wide areas, they are looking at a number of possibilities, one of those being Minteh.
Liverpool have been pursuing Bradley Barcola at Paris Saint-Germain and remain in contact with the European champions over a deal.
However, PSG's £145m valuation is a complicating factor as Liverpool do not currently want to reach that figure.

Liverpool has the poorest sporting director this season for more than two months you don't know who to buy a big team like this they are not behaving like a team want to compete look at the bench and you are selling your players and you expect this team to fight for all the season how many games how many leagues

Liverpool should stop all bid and recruit any player because all of them are over price. Seller clubs will increase special price to Liverpool similar to Manchester United in the past.

This will happen whoever they go for they know Liverpool will have to pay the same with Barcola who I believe isn’t worth anything near what PSG want and Liverpool are going to have to pay for him

So why not go back in for Zubimendi he’s went down pecking order but you never know they probably won’t sell him but he’s a good defensive midfielder why not
