The Reds reportedly tabled two transfer offers for the Gambia international - set at £50M and £60M - but Brighton rejected both advances from Anfield.
Andoni Iraola subsequently turned his attention elsewhere, to complete a deal for long-standing target Bradley Barcola from PSG - as the Seagulls held out for closer to £70M on Minteh.
Hurzeler did not shy away from the storm when asked about what happens next for Minteh as he admitted a future move to Liverpool depends on the player's form.
"If the whole team is successful and the individual shines then Yankuba will get a lot of attention again and he can then maybe fulfil his dream in the next transfer window."
Minteh is yet to feature for Brighton so far in 2026/27 as he continues his rehabilitation from a calf issue which will keep him out until October.
