Fabian Hurzeler of Aston Villa is keeping an eye out for fresh players, and one player who is on his radar is Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley.
This weekend, the Seagulls will begin their Premier League campaign against Everton, marking the beginning of new manager Fabian Hurzeler’s first English season.
Yankuba Minteh, a new recruit from Newcastle United, and Mats Wieffer, a former Feyenoord comrade, have strengthened Brighton’s roster.
HITC is aware that Brighton is attempting to sign Brajan Gruda from Mainz, and that another new signing is imminent.
One of the best young players in German football is being pursued by the Seagulls, and a deal worth €30 million (£25.6 million) is in the works.
Matt O’Riley Gruda isn’t Brighton’s sole objective, either; Hurzeler’s strategy also has them searching for a dynamic midfield player.
As they compete with Atalanta of Italy for the Danish playmaker, Matt O’Riley, a midfielder for Celtic, Brighton is reportedly still in talks with the Italian team.
Kris Boyd called O’Riley “incredible,” noting that he scored 19 goals and provided 18 assists across all competitions in the previous campaign.
As they attempt to come to an agreement with Celtic, who have been asking a club-record amount to sell him, HITC has acknowledged proposals from both Aston Villa and Atalanta.
Atletico Madrid and Brighton have not yet reached the estimated £25 million required for that deal.
After permitting Pascal Gross and Deniz Undav to join Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund in Germany, respectively, Brighton now has cash to spend.
While Atalanta has intentions for O’Riley because they are nearing the completion of the sale of their midfield midfielder Teun Koopmeiners to Juventus, the Seagulls want O’Riley to assist in filling Gross’s absence.HITC has been informed that Celtic has signed Paulo Bernardo, who might be O’Riley’s replacement, and that they anticipate O’Riley leaving.
With the completion of Adam Idah’s permanent signing, Celtic has also brought back two loanees to full-time status.
Update on Ferdi Kadioglu
Brighton is still looking to add players, and Ferdi Kadioglu, a standout for Fenerbahce, has been strongly linked.
After making an impression with Turkiye at Euro 2024, the full back—who can play on either the left or right flank—has been linked to a move to the Amex Stadium.
Kadioglu wants to transfer to the Premier League, and according to a report from Milliyet today, Brighton has made an offer to sign him.
Though Brighton has expressed interest in signing Kadioglu, as far as HITC is aware, the team maintains that no offer has been made as of yet.
Aston Villa seems to be concentrating on Gruda and O’Riley at the moment, but Kadioglu is at least a name they are aware of before the transfer deadline.The director acknowledges “special.” Brighton is expected to sign a £25 million star, with great potential.
However, a club that included legendary players like Pascal Gross, Moises Caicedo, Kaoru Mitoma Pervis Estupinan, Evan Ferguson, Alexis Mac Allister, and many more demonstrated long ago that they are experts at finding and refining rough diamonds.
Yankuba Minteh, a youthful winger acquired from Newcastle United following an exceptional tenure at Feyenoord, embodied the quintessential Brighton player. As was the agreement to rejoin with Mats Wieffer and the swift Gambian.
Malick Junior Yalcouye and Ibrahim Osman, on the other hand, travel from Scandinavian football with the intention of becoming the next generation of players at The Amex.
