Brighton close in on £25m Mainz midfielder Gruda
- Published
Brighton are in talks with Mainz’s highly-rated German Under-21 international Brajan Gruda over a £25m move to the Premier League.
Sources say there is still work to do on the deal but there is optimism at Brighton that the transfer will be completed and Gruda will sign a long-term contract.
The 20-year-old was tipped to make Germany’s Euro 2024 squad but his hopes were dashed by a calf injury.
Gruda was heavily linked with a move to Bayern Munich earlier this summer but Brighton now appear to be heading the chase to sign him, with new boss Fabian Hurzeler known to be a big fan.
